Think Yoruba First Urges Tinubu to Establish State Police

The pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group, Think Yoruba First (TYF), has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to proceed with the establishment of state police as a matter of urgent necessity.

TYF, in a statement issued on Friday by its spokesperson, Ogbeni Oluwole Lewis, asked the President to ignore what it described as “mischievous critics” of the initiative, insisting that those opposed to the plan “have something to hide.”

The group commended Tinubu for considering the establishment of state police as part of discussions with Northeast Governors during a recent meeting at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

TYF noted that the demand for state police has become critical in view of the country’s worsening security situation and the current police-to-citizen ratio of 1:650, which it described as grossly inadequate for Nigeria’s population of more than 200 million people.

“Whoever is against its establishment needs to tell us what he or she has to hide,” the statement said.

“We received the President’s commitment to the establishment of state police during a meeting with Northeast Governors at the Aso Rock with enthusiasm and a sigh of relief. We call on the President to ignore mischievous critics and do the needful for the sake of humanity,” it added.
