Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The outgoing Governor of Edo State, Godwin Obaseki, has warned the incoming governor of the state, Monday Okpebholo, against prioritising politics over security, saying there will be problems if he does.<\/p>\n

Obaseki gave the advice in Benin during the state\u2019s security meeting with heads of security agencies in the state.<\/p>\n

He said his administration was leaving the security of the state much better than he met it in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy advice to the incoming administration is to take security seriously and never prioritise politics over security because there will be problems as citizens need to demand a secure environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have shown that it\u2019s possible because we have men and women who have the capacity and training to offer security services to the state and the people of the state,\u201d Obaseki said.<\/p>\n

Attributing his success to the collaboration and support received from heads of security agencies, Obaseki said they had collectively changed the narrative and the perception about security in the state.<\/p>\n

According to him, the development and growth in the domestic environment and the interest of investors in the state was due to the secure environment in the state.<\/p>\n

Obaseki further pointed out that by adopting technology, his administration was able to cover the state and make it safe for the people, adding that it was able to document every incident in the state and work together to provide responses to the security situation.<\/p>\n

He, however, called for the participation of all stakeholders in fixing the nation.<\/p>\n
