A TROPHY FOR TINUBU’S COURAGE?
FRANK TIETIE urges the President to ensure the establishment of state police The only way President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will be different from former President Goodluck Jonathan, who served one
Lawyer Frank Tietai urges President Bola Tinubu to establish state police, urging him to remain on his courageous path before Nigeria's 2027 presidential elections. Tietai, Executive Director of Citizens Advocacy for Social & Economic Rights (CASER), draws parallels between President Tinubu's efforts and President Jonathan's failed implementation of the 2014 National Conference recommendations.
Both presidents faced intense opposition from APC power-hungry politicians, leading to their failure to achieve significant reforms. Tietai argues President Tinubu's actions to remove Nigeria's petroleum subsidy and establish state police align with previous historical instances of Nigeria's failed attempts at progress. He cautions Tinubu to resist pressure to delay state police establishment and urges him to resist criticism urging him to postpone the move. Tietai asserts that continuing his courageous endeavors will ensure Nigeria's future success.
