In a move that adds to the ongoing debate on security reforms in Nigeria, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde has criticized the submission of memoranda on state police by fellow governors.
Makinde, who appeared on Channels Television’s Politics Today program on Friday night, called the memoranda a “waste of time.” He argued that focusing on memoranda delays progress on achieving a more effective police force.
The Oyo State governor clarified that his refusal to submit a memorandum wasn’t due to arrogance but a belief in a different approach. He did not elaborate on his preferred solution.
