The outgoing Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has warned the incoming governor of the state, Monday Okpebholo, against prioritising politics over security, saying there will be problems if he does.
Obaseki gave the advice in Benin during the state’s security
meeting with heads of security agencies in the state.
He said his administration was leaving the security of the
state much better than he met it in 2016.
“My advice to the incoming administration is to take
security seriously and never prioritise politics over security because there
will be problems as citizens need to demand a secure environment.
“We have shown that it’s possible because we have men and women
who have the capacity and training to offer security services to the state and
the people of the state,” Obaseki said.
Attributing his success to the collaboration and support
received from heads of security agencies, Obaseki said they had collectively
changed the narrative and the perception about security in the state.
According to him, the development and growth in the domestic
environment and the interest of investors in the state was due to the secure
environment in the state.
Obaseki further pointed out that by adopting technology, his
administration was able to cover the state and make it safe for the people,
adding that it was able to document every incident in the state and work
together to provide responses to the security situation.
He, however, called for the participation of all
stakeholders in fixing the nation.
