12 Benefits Of A Healthier Sex Life That Have Nothing To Do With The Obvious

On Sunday, November 26, 2023, VANGUARD reported the severe insecurity in the North East Geopolitical zone with the headline: "BANDITS ON RAMPAGE, KILL 11 IN TARABA, ABDUCT OVER 100 IN ZAMFARA."

In the face of this crisis, instead of aligning with the middle belt states and the South to compel President Tinubu to implement State Police—a key component of restructuring the lopsided Federation—Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba and his Borno state counterpart, Prof Babagana Zulum, opted for the familiar advice for security agencies to enhance their efforts.

Kefas remarked, "Top security heads should visit the troubled areas to seek lasting solutions; I would not tolerate the threats to lives to continue under my watch. I will do everything humanly possible to bring an end to such carnage in the state."

Zulum added, "There is a need for renewed commitment in the fight against insecurity, poverty, and underdevelopment in the area. I urge the federal government to lend support to the region in addressing key issues such as poor state of the roads, the lack of functional rail lines, and underutilization of waterways."

Comment

It is glaring that the North East and North West differ from the Middle Belt States and the South in their approach to a final, effective, and efficient security template to combat pervasive and intractable insecurity nationwide. The Northern Governors' regurgitation of conventional solutions reveals their reluctance to endorse decentralized security architecture, such as State Police, a crucial aspect of restructuring the Federation.

The tacit agreement among the so-called "Core North" on their objection to devolution of powers, or restructuring, and the rejection of decentralized security architecture, demonstrates their overt self-centered Islamisation agenda.

Their resistance to State Police, a measure that would prompt Middle Belt and Southern State Governments to enact laws against open grazing, underscores their opposition to progress. The Middle Belt and Southern ethnicities must unite to demand decentralized security architecture, as the brazen-faced lawlessness of terrorists, posing as herdsmen, continues to plague the nation.

As President Tinubu faces the challenge of decentralizing the police, it remains the pragmatic roadmap and antidote to the escalating Islamic militia and terrorism afflicting the country.
