Obasanjo Raises Fresh Concerns About Insecurity In Nigeria

Obasanjo Raises Fresh Concerns About Insecurity In Nigeria

Former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, has called for the strengthening of the local government, and traditional rulers in the fight against rising insecurity in the country.

Obasanjo raised the concern while he hosted the National Association of Ex-Local Government Chairmen in Nigeria in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital on Wednesday.

“Our situation in Nigeria concerns everyone, particularly, the case of terrorism. The case has gotten over the issue of community police.

"It is now state police. It is from that state police that we can now be talking about community police.

“I prepared during the popular Murtala/Obasanjo administration because I believe that there is a need to enable that tier of government to work truly like a local government.

"They have their own Executive, Judiciary and Legislature.

“They were working and they were very visible, building and managing roads, looking into education, health, local administration, agriculture, but they are all gone", he said.
