Nigerian Governors Helpless In Tackling Insecurity
Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku, says the 36 governors in Nigeria are helpless when it comes to tackling insecurity.
Ishaku says that the country’s security structure does not leave enough room for governors to deal decisively with criminality in their states because the powers have been vested in the Federal Government.
His comments were in response to a recent attack in Taraba by some suspected Ambazonian soldiers from the Republic of Cameroon.
Ishaku says he has complained severally to the Nigerian military, seeking help to secure the border.
The governor further stated that his pleas have gone unheard for quite a while, leaving the community prone to attacks such as was recently experienced.
