Metro, News, Opinion, Politics2023, Chris Nwaokobia, Next Level, Nigeria, Opinion, Peter Obi, Politics

Curiously the first words of our National Anthem ARISE, O COMPATRIOTS, NIGERIA'S CALL OBEY were configured for a time as this.

In a statement on Thursday, Akeredolu reacted to the video showing the Katsina security outfit obtaining the approval to bear arms. The governor said this followed government’s denial of the Western Nigeria Security Network (Amotekun Corps) to carry assault rifles despite terror attacks. Akeredolu noted that denying Amotekun the rights to legitimately bear arms is a repudiation of the basis of true federalism which we have been clamoring for. “That Katsina was able to arm its state security force, with the…
