The pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, on Thursday lauded President Bola Tinubu for forwarding the Executive Bill on the establishment of state police to the National Assembly, while urging federal and state lawmakers, as well as governors, to fast-track its passage and implementation.

This was contained in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Jare Ajayi, and made available to journalists in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.

Ajayi also commended President Bola Tinubu for sending the Executive Bill on the establishment of State Police to the National Assembly just as he lauded the latter for pasing the bill expeditiously.

While calling on the States’ Houses of Assembly in the Federation to pass the bill as soon as it gets to them, Afenifere spokesman also called on state governors to ensure that they create the police service in their respective states as soon as the law was passed.

“They should recruit people without criminal tendencies, train and equip them properly and compliment their efforts with needed technology. They should also be properly motivated in terms of remuneration and have life insurances for them.”
