He made his opinion public during an interview with ARISE NEWS on Monday, emphasising that such a significant constitutional matter requires a proper legislative process.
“I’m not in agreement with Afenifere’s position that the president should invoke an executive order on this very sensitive and serious constitutional matter, but I support the position that we need to do everything possible to arrest the security situation in Nigeria. The state police is a constitutional issue, therefore, I think it’s better for us to sit down under one roof to agree among ourselves to amend the constitution if we need to have the state police.
