I will go after those who went away with Oyo money \u2013 Makinde threatens contactor<\/p>\n

Makinde charged the legislative arm at the national and state levels to make the issue of State Police a priority in their chambers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen things happen, hardly will they ask whether you are PDP or APC or whether you are a Christian or a Muslim\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernors will come and go. We are pushing for state police because we believe it is going to be a game-changer for the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cCall your Senators, members of the House of Representatives and state assemblies, irrespective of their party affiliation, ask them to do something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Makinde recalled going round to take responsibility for some of the incidents recorded in some parts of Oyo.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll continue to work with Police, other security agencies to secure Oyo \u2013 Makinde<\/p>\n

He stressed that the government cannot wholly guarantee security unless the people play their parts.<\/p>\n

The governor advised residents to expose persons or groups working against their well-being.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
