The Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello on Thursday explained how he handles insecurity in his state, revealing that he does not go to Abuja for solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor, who spoke on Thursday morning while appearing on Channels Television\u2019s \u2018Sunrise Daily\u2019 programme, added that the stakeholders in the state collaborate with security agencies to analyse intelligence to forestall breakdown of law and order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \u201cThe\u00a0Nigeria Police<\/a>\u00a0that are in the country today are the same in Kogi State. The Army in the country are the same in Kogi State. All the law enforcement agencies we have in the country today are exactly what I have in Kogi State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are corroborating the commissioner of police, my director (of) DSS, my Army commander, my naval commander, civil defence commander, we are corroborating and they are relating very well with the citizens, they connected to the people and leadership at all levels are doing their best starting from the community leaders, ward leaders, the local government chairmen and leaders, youth leaders, market leaders, farmers and what have you. We are corroborating very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, when they provide such information, we act on it, we don\u2019t pay lip service, we don\u2019t pass buck, we don\u2019t visit Abuja for solutions at all times. I don\u2019t think there is any day I have ever visited Abuja for any solution. What I do is to sit down here (Kogi) and do my job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governor spoke against the backdrop of current state of insecurity across the country with the seeming helplessness of state governors to nip it in the bud, as they keep running to the Federal Government for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though Kogi<\/a> has remained one of the hot beds of kidnapping and farmers\/herdsmen crisis, Governor Bello believes his strategy has been effective.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
