Insecurity: Allow Regional Security System To Function - Peter Obi Tells FG

<blockquote><b>Insecurity: Allow Regional Security System To Function, Peter Obi Tells FG</b><br><br>The former vice presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and ex-Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi, has asked the Federal Government to allow states to operate their regional security system.<br><br>Speaking during an interview on Channels Televisions Newsnight, Obi said the move would help curb the myriads of security challenges the country faces.<br><br>Allow some region-like state security system to function. The government has to come out genuinely to tackle the issue of security of lives and properties by investing in them, he said.<br><br>I served as a governor and when I found out that we had a security issue, I decided that every community in Anambra State must have their own security outfit funded and supported by the government.<br><br>If you go to Anambra State, every community has a pickup for security. In fact, some own two or three. A community like Nnewi owns four or five because it is critical.<br><br>For Nigeria to surmount the several challenges and become better, Obi said the nation needs to restructure.<br><br>He explained that his call for the nations restructuring is imperative because it appears the systems that have been operated over times isnt producing the needed result.<br><br>When asked what should be done to prevent further loss of lives in the country, the PDP chieftain reiterated his call for regional security architecture.<br><br>He explained that for the citizens to be safe, communities should have a network that will effectively guarantee their security, noting that it is the best approach.<br><br>Just support every community, let governments of the states support every community. There is no better protection or security you can have within a community than those communities being in charge of their own security because they know the criminals.<br><br>They know those who are foreigners in their community, so it is very easy. You cant come to my village and provide a better community than my villagers, he added.</blockquote><br> Source <br><a href="https://www.channelstv.com/2021/03/01/insecurity-allow-regional-security-system-to-function-peter-obi-tells-fg/">https://www.channelstv.com/2021/03/01/insecurity-allow-regional-security-system-to-function-peter-obi-tells-fg/</a>
