<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The South West Governor of Nigeria have met and agreed to reorganize the resolution Security architecture in their various states to address the security challenges facing their region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The
governors unanimously agreed to take immediate actions by keying into areas
recommended by the technical report of the Development Agenda for Western
Nigeria with a promise that the security architecture of the region would be changed
from what it currently is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> ;The
Chairman, South West Governors Forum and Governor of Ondo State, Arakunrin
Rotimi Akeredolu made this known  ;to journalists after  ;a closed door
meeting held at the Ondo State Governors office in  ;Akure. He stated  ;that they would leave no stone unturned at
ensuring that the security architecture of the region is redesigned to make the
region a no go area for criminals.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Akeredolu
also urged the people of the region to be calm and be patient with governors of
the region, promising that they would take bold steps to stem the tide of
insecurity and deal ruthlessly with anyone within the South Western space
caught perpetrating any form of criminal acts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We
want the people that are concerned to wake up. There  ;is no way we can be
here and discuss security and they won’t do anything, they will take steps and
we are assuring our people that we are prepared and we will deal ruthlessly
with anybody who is here within our space to commit any criminal act, &#8220;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He
added that It should be recalled that at the end of a three day Security Summit
organized by the  ;Development Agenda for Western Nigeria (DAWN)in Ibadan,
a technical team was set up to look into the issues of insecurity  ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After
the burial service of Pa Reuben Fasoranti’s  ;daughter, Mrs. Olufunke Olakunri, held at the
Saint Davids Anglican Church, Akure, Akeredolu stated  ;that they would get to the root of the evil
act that claimed the life of Mrs. Olakunri and others, noting that the
perpetrators would not go unpunished.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He
also noted that they are in support of the position of the Kano State Governor’s
stand to  ;bring an end to nomadism, adding that the practice should not be
encouraged at this point in time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8221;
All of us here, we are in support of the position of the governor of Kano State
who  ;made it clear over and over that we should ban nomadism, he said that
the time has come to ban nomadism, that is a profound statement from a Fulani
man who felt convinced that these thing should stop. Nomadism is not something
we can encourage at this age and time, so we rise and we will continue to
support the position of Governor Ganduje,&#8221; he added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile,
Local Government Chairmen in Ogun State who were suspended from office by
former governor Ibikunle Amosun have ;
asked the anti-graft agency to probe the immediate past administration over
Councils’ inability to execute projects as a result of non release of funds.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The
local government chairmen were suspended by the 8th Assembly under the
leadership of Rt.Hon Suraj Adekunle.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The
aggrieved Chairmen led by Hon Semiu Bola Lawal of Odeda Local government who
doubles as chairman of Association of Local Government of Nigeria,  ;(ALGON),claimed that the past administration ridiculed
their powers for 32 months.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Semiu,
in a statement alleged that, &#8220;The whole 20 LG and 37 LCDA in Ogun state
collected a sum of #14million each in 7 staggered installments spread over
31months.Council Chairmen collected a sum of #229,000 each as monthly salary
without lawful allowances as provided for under the law. Only 10 months
Security allowance of #500,000 were received by the chairmen without official
cars.” He added.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He
also alleged that they were treated as mere appendage to the Ministry of Local
Government and Chieftaincy Affairs. Mere circular overrides provision of the
constitution and extant laws. All Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of
councils were taken over by ministries and parastatals at the behest of the
past Governor who governed the state with fiat and impunity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For
32 months out of their 36 months, members who were bold to point out these
anomalies were threatened, harassed, assaulted and in the extreme, impeachment
orchestrated. ;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Therefore,
the suspended chairmen use the opportunity to call on the present government
under the leadership of Prince Dapo Abiodun, to look into their suspension with
a view of their resumption back to office to complete their tenure.</p>
