State Police: ‘Not True, Practically Impossible,’ Charles Omole Faults Rigging Allegation Against Tinubu
During an X Space (formely known as Twitter) hosted by Hon Abiodun Bolade(AbbeyGovernor) Charles suggested that President Tinubu's objective may instead be to complete the legal framework for state policing before the end of his current term.
The Director-General of the Institute for Police and Security Policy Research (IPSPR), Charles Omole, has faulted claims that President Bola Tinubu’s push for state police is intended to influence the 2027 general election, describing the allegation as “not true” and “practically impossible”.
The bill, passed by the House and Senate, seeks to amend Section 214 to establish federal and state police services.
Omole, who was a guest on Channels Television’s Politics Today, argued that no state would be able to establish a functional state police service before the next general election because of the constitutional, legal, and operational processes required.
“I do not see any state having state police before the next election, so those who are driving the fact that maybe the President is doing it so that he can use it for the next election, that can’t happen because the technicalities are just not there,” the lawyer said on Monday.
Rejecting suggestions that the proposal was designed to manipulate elections, Omole said, “It is not true. It is practically impossible to do it.
