 • PDP chief backs govt, Boko Haram talks

DEPUTY Inspector General of Police, 'F' Department, Aliyu Y. Kafur, has expressed dismay with the level of compliance of men and officers of the Force to modern policing initiative.

Meanwhile, a Peoples' Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain in Benue State and an elder statesman, Abu King Shuluwa, has urged President Goodluck Jonathan to embrace dialogue with the Boko Haram Islamic sect.

Shuluwa who made the call in Makurdi during a chat with journalists yesterday stressed that the recent cease fire call was a mere propaganda, noting that dialogue with the sect remained the best option for peace.

Kafur said that despite the Force's efforts in advancing policing with human face, officers were yet to embrace the modern ways in their relationship, investigations, arrests and execution of their duties.

He said that the police authority in the country decided to choose the Central Police Station, Enugu and a division in Isolo Lagos as pilot stations for the modern policing initiative, which it was doing in conjunction with the DFID's Justice for All project.

He told officers and men of Enugu command that the idea was to have a society that was free from tendencies that sought to deny people their rights to justice.

Shuluwa added: "I am happy that everybody is now calling for dialogue with Boko Haram sect.  President Jonathan should quickly find a way to dialogue with the sect, but if he refuses dialogue, he should better resign. This is because the security of lives and property of Nigerians is greater to us than anything."

Shuluwa who described the proposed centenary celebration as a waste of the country's resources, further noted that the people had been celebrating independence for the past 50 years without any tangible achievements.

On the planned merger by some parties in the country, Shuluwa said it was a welcome development, adding, "we need just three or five political parties. There is no use having up to 50 political parties. The merger will give a challenge to the ruling PDP to sit up if they have a focus.

"The biggest problem that we have in this country is lack of strong opposition party. If there is strong opposition party, it will serve a lot of good because it would compel the party in power to sit up," Shuluwa stated.
