There is nothing a state government can do. We rely on them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat else can a governor do, if I had complained? What else can I do? I wish I knew if this thing was going to happen yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not only me that is helpless. All the governors in Nigeria are helpless. I have said it, times without number.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the governors in Nigeria are helpless that is why we are saying give us state police. If we have state police, I will have ordered the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the governors \u2014 not only Darius Ishaku \u2014 are helpless; not only the Taraba state government that is helpless, all of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe governors are helpless. Go and ask other governors and tell me who has a solution to give. We have to depend on the federal might when it comes to security.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he had a local security initiative to address insecurity, the governor said: \u201cWe have vigilante but what will a vigilante do when he does not have an AK-47? And people are charging at him with AK-47.<\/p>\n<p>He said the federal government must equip security agencies and also ensure that the borders of the country are well-manned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just told you that even the immigration tried their best (referring to when Ambazonia fighters invaded the community). I don\u2019t know which gun the immigration was using. Apparently, maybe the type of normal old gun of cork and fire.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be frank with you, even the military needs to be equipped, even the police need to be equipped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll these para-military (agencies) need to be equipped.
