‎The Vice Presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Rabiu Kwankwaso, says there are dangers associated with the proposed creation of state police.

‎Speaking with News Central TV on Thursday night, the national leader of the Kwankwassiyya Movement said governors will use the local police for their political gains.

‎According to him, the state police would not have been needed if not for the leadership failure in the Northern part of the country.

‎He said, “There is a huge leadership failure in Northern Nigeria. State police is as a result of that failure.

‎“There are so many dangers associated with state police. The governors would want to use them for political protection.

‎“The government must not allow the circulation of small arms just like that”.
