Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi has said that he does not visit Abuja for solutions to insecurity challenges in his state.
Speaking during an interview on
Channels Television on Thursday February 18, Bello averred that he acts on
information he receives from security agencies and does not pay lip service to
them.
He said;
“The Nigeria Police that are in
the country today are the same in Kogi State. The Army in the country are the
same in Kogi State. All the law enforcement agencies we have in the country
today are exactly what I have in Kogi State.
“So, when they provide such
information, we act on it, we don’t pay lip service, we don’t pass buck, we
don’t visit Abuja for solutions at all times. I don’t think there is any day I
have ever visited Abuja for any solution. What I do is to sit down here and do
my job."
Bello who also stated that there
is a need for governors to collaborate and implement policies that will put an
end to the farmers-herders crisis affecting parts of the country, also
disclosed that stakeholders in Kogi state collaborate with security agencies to
analyse intelligence to forestall the breakdown of law and order.
He added;
“We are corroborating, the
commissioner of police, my director (of) DSS, my Army commander, my naval
commander, civil defense commander, we are corroborating and they are relating
very well with the citizens, they connected to the people and leadership at all
levels are doing their best starting from the community leaders, ward leaders,
the local government chairmen, and leaders, youth leaders, market leaders,
farmers and what have you. We are corroborating very well."
