Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State has condemned the
crisis in Rivers State, saying what was on the ground indicated that the Commissioner
of Police was now the governor of of the state.
Aliyu, who received the Commissioner for
Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Ambassador Zubairu Dada,
at the Government House, said, “You saw what is happening in Rivers
State? A Commissioner of Police has now become the Governor of Rivers
State. Is that the image we want the world to look out to?
The governor, who is also the chairman of Northern States
Governors’ Forum, recalled that since he became his state’s chief executive,
“there has not been a Police Council Meeting.”
According to him, the PCM is supposed to “decide the
appointment of Police Commissioners and their deployment.”
He therefore called for a reduction of the funds and
powers available to the Federal Government because it (Federal Government)
had no business in the provision of health, water, agriculture and education.
“There is too much money at the centre for the Federal
Government to spend and that is why they are creating problems for
the states, “ Aliyu advised.
Pointing out that Nigeria was in a
bad shape, he claimed that nobody knows the amount of oil the country
produces.

ReplyDeleteIs anything wrong with Babangida Aliyu saying the country doesn't know the quantity or volume of oil Nigeria produces? Or should Nigeria just producec blindly while crooks like you continue to steal and sell as much as you like without accountability. Oil shouldn't make us fools and blind to truth.
