gather intelligence and information and pass same to security agencies for the
protection of lives and property.
“I will sign the Neighbourhood
Watch Bill by next week. All these lies being spread will not stop us. The
Neighbourhood Watch is for the good of our people. We have sworn to protect our
people.
“I heard one man who calls
himself a Senator assessed local media and was saying we should not sign assent
to the bill that has already been passed by the Rivers state House of Assembly.
“That Law is very very important
an I will not mind them. Whether they like it or not I am waiting for Monday to
come so that I can sign that Bill into Law.

prepare now die. The bill must signed to Law. I have no regrets about it,” he
