Opeyemi Bamidele: State Police Now a Reality, Not Rhetoric
• Confirms 30 states have met constitutional threshold for establishment • Insists 10th NASS should be Judged by impact, not volume of laws • Warns good laws alone cannot guarantee
Senate Leader Opeyemi Bamidele has declared that the establishment of state police in Nigeria is now a reality, following the approval of the State Police Constitution Alteration Bill, 2026 by at least 30 state Houses of Assembly. The Senate leader emphasized that state police have moved from rhetoric to reality, with the National Assembly now set to complete the remaining legislative procedures and transmit the bill to President Bola Tinubu for assent by December 2026.
