Niger State
Governor, Aliyu Babaginda has described the current crisis in Rivers
State as an indication that the Commissioner of Police, Mbu has assumed
the position of the Governor.
Aliyu, who received the Commissioner for Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission, Ambassador Zubairu Dada, at the Government House, said, “You saw what is happening in Rivers State? A Commissioner of Police has now become the Governor of Rivers State. Is that the image we want the world to look out to?
Governor Aliyu who happens to be the chairman of Northern States Governors’ Forum, recalled that since he became his state’s chief executive, “there has not been a Police Council Meeting.”
According to him, the PCM is supposed to “decide the appointment of Police Commissioners and their deployment.”
The Governor said the Federal Government had no business in the provision of health, water, agriculture and education and as such calls for reduction of funds and powers made available to the federal government.
According to him “There is too much money at the centre for the Federal Government to spend and that is why they are creating problems for the states, “ Aliyu advised.
Pointing out that Nigeria was in a bad shape, he claimed that nobody knows the amount of oil the country produces.
