Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, believes Nigeria’s security challenges can be effectively tackled through shared responsibility, stronger state governors involvement and a security structure that gives them greater role and control as they are closer to the people.According to him, governors must take full ownership and control of security in their states because they understand the unique challenges facing their communities and are directly accountable to the people.“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can not come to Edo or visit all the states at the same time because he is just one person. If I protect Edo State and every other governor protects their states, insecurity will become a thing of the past,” Okpebholo said.
