The Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, has questioned the Federal Government’s reported approval of the recruitment of 1,000 forest guards for Oyo State, arguing that Nigeria’s security challenges require a broader and more coordinated approach.
Obi made the remarks in a statement posted on his official page while reacting to reports that President Bola Tinubu approved the recruitment of forest guards for the state amid growing concerns over insecurity across the country.
According to Obi, while increasing the number of security personnel is important, such measures should be implemented through a structured national strategy rather than on a state-by-state basis.
The former Anambra State governor noted that several states, including Oyo, Plateau, Kwara, Kogi, Borno, Katsina, Anambra, Niger, Imo and Sokoto, are currently facing various security challenges.
He questioned whether similar approvals would be extended to all states and the Federal Capital Territory
