‘This has come as a surprise to me and I will not take it for granted. I want to encourage you to always prioritize excellence performance. I know it is not easy to be a police officer in Nigeria, and this is one of the reasons why some of us had to leave the terrain so that we can join the other side and help you press for those things you need to do your work effectively.
I am promising you that the first thing I will strive to achieve at the National Assembly is to present a bill on Security Architecture of Nigeria where the role of internal security will be well- defined and explained.
One of the reasons we are facing serious insecurity is because we are spending billions of naira on defence without positive results.
That is why we can’t go anywhere. I will make sure that internal security is given priority when I get to the green chamber.
I promise you that I will make sure the set goal is achieved by the grace of God’ he said.
Highlights of the event include the donation of 500,000.00 naira to the family of late two officers ; Nasiru Jabo and Hassan Mathew by Ajia.
