The Senate majority leader, Ahmed
Lawan on Friday said that the upper legislative chamber will deliberate on the
possibilities of the country having state police.
He spoke with State House
journalists after observing juma’a at service at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
According to him, the senate is
currently looking towards reviewing the country’s security architecture and
will be open to any suggestion that will it achieve the objective.
He commended Vice President Yemi
Osinbajo for suggesting state and community policing, adding that the Senate
would bring it on board.
He said “Well, I’m not a
legislature as such because I am only one member of the legislature. But as a
committee member of the adhoc committee on security and the review of security
infrastructure in Nigeria, I believe that the suggestion by the Vice President
that we should go the way of state Police and even consider community policing,
is very good suggestion and we are going to take it on board in the National
Assembly
The senator also hailed President
Muhammadu Buhari’s appointment of the
former Governor of Lagos state Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to reconcile warring
factions within the ruling All Progressives Congress.

While pointing out that the
committee is coming late, he said that it is expected to add value to APC which
he said is plagued by some internal issues.
“In fact that that committee
should have been constituted long time ago because APC is plagued by some
internal issues and I believe that these are issues that are surmountable.
“The Tinubu committee will
definitely add value into reconciling the warring sides so to speak. Time is
against us, we have to really kickstart these process of reconciliation
immediately and I believe that as a family we should be able to come out very
much united that we were before.” he said
The Senator also urged Nigerians
to be positive and support government’s efforts at surmounting insecurity
challenges in the country.
He also commended the recent
collaboration between the legislature and the executive particularly, the just
concluded national security summit, towards tackling security challenges in the
country.
