Security or the lack of it is the defining agenda of the moment as we all feel paralysed physically, emotionally, and spiritually. xThe Governor of Benue State Mr. Samuel Ortom had to undertake an unscheduled marathon race to escape from being lynched by those who had waylaid him but who missed him by the whiskers. They have always been there but no one in authority seems to be interested in ideas that can reasonably deal with the major security issues. xNow it is fraudulent to hold them responsible for security in their States because they are given responsibility without power. When a security crisis occurs they can only grit their teeth or hold a whirlwind of fruitless meetings with security men whose loyalty lies elsewhere.
