Delta Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, insists that the creation of
State Police will address the insecurity challenge in Nigeria.
Okowa made the remark at the annual conference of the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) in Abuja on Wednesday.
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) vice presidential
candidate said many Nigerians agree that the establishment would reduce the
crime rate.
Okowa lamented that the Federal Government had remained
indifferent on the issue to the detriment of the people.
The governor assured that a PDP-led administration would
empower states to run their separate police system.
NAN quoted him saying indigenes will ensure the protection
of lives and property in their areas and curb criminal activities.
“State Police would help in the effective enforcement of
anti-open-grazing law in the states,” Okowa added.
He affirmed that the PDP would encourage power devolution to
the states for better development in the country.
The chieftain said this would attract and stimulate
investment in states across the six regions.
