The governorship candidate of the
All Progressive Congress, APC,
senator Chris Ngige yesterday said
he would tackle head long the vexed
issue of security in the state within the first 100 days in office if voted
as the next governor of the state
come November 16. Speaking with Vanguard, Ngige
regretted that in the past eight
years of the present administration
there had been unprecedented cases
of various crimes ranging from
kidnapping, armed robbery among others in the state that were not
witnessed during his tenure as
governor of the state. Citing section 2(14) of the 1999
Constitution Ngige said the
government of Mr Peter Obi had
failed in the cardinal and
fundamental duty of governance. He said the first step which he
described as preventive would be to
make the educational curriculum
have vocational training
orientation so that after secondary
education, school leavers could create jobs for themselves. Besides,he said he would boost
graduate employment by creating
agricultural settlement that would
employ thousands of young
graduates and further improve the
power situation through procuring independent power plants, IPP to
generate power for the State. In the curative approach, Ngige
pledged to synchronise the security
system to enable the Vigilante
Services and the Nigeria Police work
together seamlessly. Ngige who is also a member of the
Senate Committee on Police Affairs
threw his weight behind the age long
demand for state police by some
section of Nigerians.
