On the critical issue of national security, the Progressive Governors’ Forum (PGF) and the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) have jointly resolved to support President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s model aimed at empowering States and communities to address persistent security challenges.
In our deliberations yesterday, following Mr. President’s visit to Benue State, we reviewed the prevailing security architecture and reached a consensus on the urgent need to adopt the long-advocated State security system as a complement to federal efforts.
In Imo State, we have proactively embraced this model, deploying it across the length and breadth of our communities. This has led to tangible progress in tackling security threats, enhancing response mechanisms, and restoring citizens’ confidence. Our approach is continually being fortified through intelligence gathering, community engagement, and lawful enforcement strategies.
As we await the rollout of further Presidential measures to deepen national security, we remain committed to doing our utmost – within the ambit of the law – to protect the lives and properties of our people.
Our resolve is unwavering, and our duty to the people remains our highest calling.
