BREAKING: Tinubu Vows State Police, Enforced LG Autonomy as Legacy Reforms, Tells APC Governors✊❤️ President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has declared that the introduction of state policing and the effective implementation of local government autonomy would rank among the greatest achievements of his administration. The president made the remarks on Thursday night while addressing governors elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the party’s caucus meeting held at the State House, Abuja. Tinubu said he recently held extensive discussions with leaders from the United States and Europe, during which he expressed confidence in Nigeria’s ability to pass legislation establishing state police as a critical step toward improving national security. “I told them confidently that we will pass state police to improve security. They asked if I was sure, and I said yes, because I have a party I can depend on,” the president said, adding that failure was not an option. He also reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to fully implement the Supreme Court ruling granting financial and administrative autonomy to local governments. Tinubu stressed that autonomy must go beyond legal declarations and translate into practical governance at the grassroots. “To me, local government autonomy must be effective. There is no autonomy without a funded mandate,” he said, urging governors and party leaders to ensure compliance with the ruling. The president argued that empowering local councils financially and institutionally would strengthen service delivery, deepen democracy, and reduce pressure on state and federal authorities. Tinubu maintained that both reforms—state policing and local government autonomy—are essential to addressing Nigeria’s security and development challenges sustainably.
