‎
‎President Bola Tinubu has urged governors, and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support the proposal for the establishment of state police and implementation of local government autonomy.
‎
‎He made the call at the 14th meeting of the APC National Caucus held in Abuja on Thursday.
‎
‎The President asked governors to back the judgment of the Supreme Court on local government autonomy.
‎
‎According to him, it was not enough that the court had passed the judgment but allocations for local government councils must reach them directly.
‎
‎The calls for state police have grown louder amid rising security challenges in the country.
