Idiko1: He revealed a bitter truth. He said the Governor being the CSO of the State is merely Ceremonial. In reality, what he said is that the State governor is not the CSO of the State. |

Nauttyprof:You might not like his point, but the position of CSO is mere ceremonial. Governor's have reiterated that point many times, they need their own police force |

gnhpowerhouse:You're not okay. The federal high court gave the judgement in 1993, Appeal court supported them, and same with supreme court. Some people's houses were demolished to give land to the rich. Is that fair? Imagine labouring all your life to build a house, and the government demolishes the house because they want to build an estate there. Be fair for once. |

The governors are ministers at FEC. They head an independent levels of governments and at the Federal Executive Council, they're ministers while the President becomes The Presiding Governor and or Prime Minister as The Council wishes. |

Don't be confused. N/A. We are in a DEMOCRACY AND NOT FEUDALISM, AUTOCRACY OR DICTATORSHIP. |

The Nigerian constitution gives too much power to the federal level by centralising security powers at the federal level. This is why there was no absolute action against the herdsmen rather the state governors resulted to banning open grazing in their states since they could not use their powers to control the police to protect their people. The constitution should be amended to give room for state policing , this would help the states gain power to protect their states against insecurities. |

MansoryMX:yeah..our consistution is built for restrogress,.we run a millary government under the guise of democracy...federal government have no power over a state without the approval from the state governor or supreme Court.. only inthe case of emergency (state of emergency)...this is ��, we do tinzs our way...... |

Nauttyprof: That is not the position of the Constitution. That is not the position of governor under federalism. It is not in the Constitution that the Governor shall be a Ceremonial Chief Security Officer of the State. The reality on ground is that the Commissioner of Police takes instructions from IGP. It was very clear during Jonathan / Amaechi rift. Donald Duke some years back in one of his memoirs while in government spoke briefly about this. The implications is that this has made Commissioner of Police sent to some Southern States very rich as the Governor has to bribe his way with money and fixed assets for them to work together. This is very pathetic. What the Mallam Lawyer said is the bitter truth. The State Commissioner of Police is not appointed by the Governor. He is only posted to work in the State. The governor must take care of him handsomely for them to work together. They are working together. That's the bitter truth. The Yoruba elites should support Prof Akintoye and IOO. |

Kzinne: The governor doesn't have control over the police in his state. That is the sad reality. Holding weekly meetings are inconsequential because the governor has no power to promote officers or discipline erring officers that disobey his directives. You will know how helpless a governor is concerning security when he is a member of an opposition party from that in the centre. The only exception to this is when the governor is really dogged and stubborn but there is really nothing much such individual can do. |

Nauttyprof:The constitution declared them as CSO, but that same constitution says there shall only be 1 police force, and set the organogram for how the police functions. It didn't give a single power to governors as it pertains state security, yet declared them as CSO. |
Re: The IGP Is Superior To Governors — Lawyer, Ndakudu Adam by Nauttyprof(m): 10:07am On Jan 06, 2022 |
Upworkwriter007: I just don't understand why you typed this. So, why are the governors part of Nigerian Police Council? The Organogram for the council is President, 36 Governors, Chairman of Police Service Commission and IGP. |
Re: The IGP Is Superior To Governors — Lawyer, Ndakudu Adam by Nauttyprof(m): 10:22am On Jan 06, 2022 |
babaolofin: The State Commissioner of Police is not appointed by the Governor but the Governor can reject any Commissioner of Police sent to his state. This happened in Lagos State and of recent in Ogun state where the Governor rejected Edgar as CP for Ogun state. So, tell me if the Governor is still a ceremonial CSO. We don't practice true Federalism and this is the truth. Why do we have the Nigerian Police Council with the 36 Governors included if they are not important. |

Most persons don't know that according to the Constitution of Nigeria the Nigerian police is subordinate to the Inspector General (IG) and the IG is under the authority of the President..See your self..how can a Ceo of a company be greater than a company..Than means in a way you are saying that president buhari is greater than Nigeria..and the IGp is not even elected but appointed and can be fired !!!You should return your school fees !! |
Re: The IGP Is Superior To Governors — Lawyer, Ndakudu Adam by Nobody: 11:20am On Jan 06, 2022 |
Nauttyprof: Firstly, rejection of Commissioner of Police by the Governor doesn't mean the Governor has power to appoint another Commissioner of Police. The IGP was just being magnanimous by sending another one so that the Governor would not put blame on the IGP if there is security breakdown. He was not under compulsion to send another one. Let me ask you a question; If Amaechi had rejected a Commissioner of Police sent to Rivers during his rift with Jonathan, do you think the Commissioner would be replaced? We both know the answer. Nigerian Police Council membership of the governors does not give governors any power rather it is just to review security situations and how to help the Police . I am trying to get where I kept a memoir by Donald Duke that touched a Police Commissioner sent to a State ( not Cross River). That was during Obj. The governor first settled (money & fixed asset) the Commissioner on resumption in the State for anticipated cordial working relationship. We all know other things will follow also. 1 Like |

Yankee101:And IGp is just a mere appointee of the president who can be fired at the pleasure of the president,he does not wield executive power just a head of law enforcement mechanism of a state..The governor cannot be fired by the president and wield executive power of the state.. 1 Like |

babaolofin: There is no magnanimity in what the IGP did. This is what state Governors do when they know they can't work with the deployed CP on security issues of the State. The IGP has no option but to accept the request of the Governor and deploy a new CP instead. |
Re: The IGP Is Superior To Governors — Lawyer, Ndakudu Adam by Idiko1: 11:35am On Jan 06, 2022 |
babaolofin: When did CEO of state become CSO? The president is chief execute officer of the country such as Nigeria hence the executive president. The president is not the chief security officer. The same thing befalls governor of the states. The governor is the chief executive officer of state hence the executive governor. The setup is likened to corporate standard where the CEO is not CSO. A person cannot be a chairman and gateman at the same time. Nigerians tend to coin craps in the newspaper which find their way into psychic of the society. Nigerian police are not apparatus of any state in Nigeria therefore the state governor does not control the ranks of the force. |
