Fayemi, who is the Chairman of Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), urged the people to hold the governors accountable for insecurity in the region. We are set to harness the potential of security agencies to rid the region of insecurity. Fayemi emphasised the importance of a state and community policing system to complement the federal police: “We cannot have a unitary police system in a federal state. Durojaiye urged Buhari to consider recruitment, training and deployment of the police personnel on the basis of the 774 local governments listed in the First Schedule of the 1999 Constitution.
