Taraba State governor, Darius Ishaku has said governors require help to battle the insecurity in the country since there they have zero control over security agencies.
Nigeria has been battling insecurity for over a year with Taraba as one of the states most affected especially with series of murder and conflicts.
His words, “If any governor tells you that he will do anything about insecurity, such a governor is lying.
“As governors, we don’t have control over the Police or Army and virtually there is nothing we can do over security.
“We have been calling for the establishment of state police, but nobody seems to consider our position.
“The constitution did not place the security architecture of the country in the hands of Governors.
“I am praying myself for peace and I have also asked the people of the state to pray for peace in the state.”
