Former presidential candidate of Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has advised President Bola Tinubu to give some power to state governors amid the security challenges in the country.

He said: “There is always between one president and another. We cannot compare President Olusegun Obasanjo presidency, Umaru Yar’Adua presidency to what we have after.”

“Under Obasanjo, the governors were in charge of security. I requested that every DPOs (Divisional Police Officers) be removed and I had it.”

“I took decisions on security with the authority of the President during late President Umaru Yar’adua and every month, there was a conversation between the President and the Governors.”

“The governor have to be in charge of the state and be responsible.”

“So, we need a President who is determined to give the governor authority to do something.”
