Nigeria Needs Security Not Yoruba Presidency – Makinde.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde has revealed that what matters to Nigerians now is adequate security of lives and properties as well as restructuring and not debating on who must occupy the presidential seat of government.
While speaking in Ibadan at the handover of 33 operational vehicles and 396 motorcycles to the Oyo State arm of Amotekun Corps, the Chief Press Secretary, Taiwo Adisa who represented Governor Makinde slammed those who parading the country because of their presidential ambition.
Makinde said,
“I have heard some of our political leaders jostling around and saying they want to become the president of Nigeria in 2023.
“I think what we need at this stage is to secure our people and restructure Nigeria. It does not matter who is the president in Abuja. In a restructured Nigeria, every corner of the country will feel the impact of government. That is what we need.
“May God protect those running around for presidency till 2022. By that time, we will meet and, by then, we will get to know whether it is restructured Nigeria or Yoruba presidency that we really need.”
“If we cannot get state police now, this country will get there. We have community policing, but we need to do better than that. But, in the absence of the state police, we have our own Amotekun Corps and the operatives are doing very well,“.
