Bola Tinubu, the President of Nigeria, has called on the Senate to revise Nigeria’s constitution to include provisions for state police.

During an interfaith breaking of fast (Iftar) with senators at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Wednesday evening, Tinubu made the plea.

The President acknowledged that his administration is grappling with issues related to banditry, terrorism, and insurgency. He expressed confidence that state police could offer a solution to these problems.

“We are facing terrorism, banditry, and insurgency. But we will never fail to make a right response to this cause. What I will ask for tonight is for you (senators) to start thinking how best to amend the constitution to incorporate the state police for us to secure our country, take over our forests from marauders, and free our children from fear.

“I have a lot of credit for bold reforms. Without your collaboration and inspiration, those reforms would not be possible. We are reformists together.

“What we gave up and what we stopped is monumental corruption in the subsidy system.

“We don’t want to participate in monumental corruption and arbitrage foreign exchange.

“You don’t have to chase me for dollars; you could see what Nigeria is today. You should be proud, and I am glad you are. What we are enjoying is a stable economy, and prosperity is beckoning us. We need to work hard, and this attendance means a lot to me,” Tinubu told the lawmakers.
