Frank Tietie has urged President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to ensure the establishment of state police. He noted that the only way President Tinubu will be different from former President Goodluck Jonathan, who served one term, is to do things differently. Tietie recalled that President Jonathan attempted and failed to remove the petroleum subsidy because misguided civil society activists intimidated him, and that APC politicians led by Bola Tinubu and Muhammadu Buhari sought to unseat him by latching onto populist grounds. He also mentioned that Jonathan tried to reset Nigeria onto a path of progress by convening the 2014 National Conference, but failed to implement the recommendations when some prominent governors and members of his own ruling party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, including Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano State, Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State, Aliyu Wammako of Sokoto State and Abdulfatah Ahmed, opposed him.
