FFK debunks claims that Buhari has approved State and Local Police

Femi Fani-Kayode, FFK, has debunked reports which state that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the establishment of state and local police.

Earlier today, news broke out that President Buhari approved the establishment of state and local police.

However, later details revealed that a presidential panel on the reform of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) only recommended the establishment of State and local government police to confront the growing spate of insecurity in the country.

Reacting to the growing excitement after the news was misconstrued, FFK tweeted:

Pl dont get too excited. Take it from me @MBuhari will NEVER approve or implement state and LGA police for Nigeria and neither will any other Fulani leader with the possible exception of @atiku. The assertion that he has approved state police is a lie from the pit of hell.

A recommendation was made and a ceremony took place. Approval and implementation is different to recommendation. This is what they call “taqqiya” meaning “deception”. Give the people the impression that u will do what they want but never actually do it. That is what is going on.
