You must be disturbed by recent events in Imo State where the police station and correctional centre were attacked. The situation in Imo State is the most challenging national security threat today. It would take tremendous national consensus to amend the 1999 constitution, to provide for state police. In more advanced democracies, where the government provides infrastructure and is responsive to the needs of the average citizen, constituency projects are non-existent. Beyond the power to suggest projects and locations, lawmakers are almost powerless when it comes to the issue of constituency projects.
