Kwara gov seeks constitutional roles for traditional rulers

Kwara State Governor, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, has advocated constitutional roles for traditional rulers, saying they are the closest leaders to the grassroots.

The governor stated this on Wednesday in Ilorin, the state capital at a one-day sensitisation programme on community policing, organised by the Kwara State Police Command.

“In the last meeting of Northern Governors held in Kaduna, there was the idea that the roles of the traditional rulers should be amplified and embedded into the constitution. This means that we should give them constitutional roles in the society. That is an ongoing process, and I am a supporter of this initiative,” he said.

The governor said community policing was long overdue to strengthen the security of lives and property, urging every stakeholder to support the initiative.

A former Inspector General of Police, Tafa Balogun, said the initiative climaxed his eight points agenda while in office.
