Governor of Ondo State, Rotimi Akeredolu has responded to the stance of the presidency after\u00a0it said no state has been authorized to procure automatic weapons for its security outfit.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement released by his spokesperson, Richard Olatunde.<\/p>\n

Akeredolu said FG’s reason for refusing to allow state security outfits to carry arms is no longer feasible given the current security<\/a> issues in the country.<\/p>\n

The Governor also asked why presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu is now defending the Katsina state government when the state government is yet to openly deny claim of use of AK47 by vigilantes<\/a> of Katsina State during training.<\/p>\n

He said;<\/p>\n

\u201cHis attempt to justify the use of AK47 by the Vigilantes of Katsina State<\/a> for training stands logic on its head.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe report by the TVC News that went viral showed the Kastina State Vigilante training with AK47. This is the same weapon which approval has vehemently been refused for the use of Amotekun Corps and other State Security Outfits.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe questions Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN, asks are: Where did the guns come from? Who approved their use? Were the guns returned to the armoury after use? The AK47, as seen from the TVC news report, was about usage. If not, what purpose does training with the guns serve?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is rather suspicious that Garba Shehu elected himself as the spokesperson for the Kastina State government, whereas, the Katsina State has not come out openly to deny the statement of Governor Akeredolu on the use of AK47 by Vigilantes of Katsina State during training.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Akeredolu has reiterated that State Security outfits backed by law whether in the Western Nigeria, Katsina, Borno, Benue or any Northern State must have access to the same sophisticated weapons that the criminals have. It time to face down these enemies of the people.”<\/p>\n

Akeredolu who reiterated that he can’t fight gunmen with bare hands added that he is very much committed to the realization of a constitutional amendment to reflect the current realities.<\/p>\n

He said;<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is illogical to continue to fight hardened marauders who bear sophisticated weaponry to kidnap and maim our people with bare hands. We cannot fight armed enemies of the people with our bare hands.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our firm belief that the government has a fundamental duty to protect the people. It is a task that must be accomplished without excuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Akeredolu is determined to spare no efforts in protecting the people. He has vowed to explore every available legal and constitutional means to secure the state and its people.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Governor swore to an oath to protect the state and the people. The sub-national must be allowed to put in place security forces as a counter-balancing force to face these marauders who have unchecked access to sophisticated weapons.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is high time we tackled these conflict entrepreneurs and restore the confidence of the people. We cannot do the same thing time and again and expect different result.<\/p>\n

\u201cGovernor Akeredolu is irrevocably committed to the security of the people, particularly his state. He will continue to speak up in defence of the people. He is very much committed to the realisation of constitutional amendment to reflect the current realities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
