According to report reaching oyogist.com, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State has expressed worry over the spate of insecurity in Nigeria.

The governor spoke during an interview with Channels Television’s politics Today, on Monday.

According to El-Rufai: “We are all frustrated. I am frustrated in my state, many governors are frustrated in their states; we are called chief security officers only in name, we have no control over cohesive instruments of the state.

“We are almost helpless. The #EndSARS protest clearly showed the limit to the control of governors over the police and the military.

“Some of us have more influence than others, but to a large extent, you ask the commissioner of police to do something and he has to clear with the Inspector-General of Police; this is the reality.

“We are not in control of the police, I don’t determine who gets posted to my state as CP and if I give him directives, he can decide to flout the directives. So, we are all frustrated.”
