Adebayo while speaking on the security system in the country
noted that it is not in the interest of the current government to make the police system work because they would be affected if it does.
Adding that the government are only concerned about being protected by police operatives.
He said;
“Let’s not run away from forming a government. At the federal level, there’s an assisting constitution I’m going to swear in on May 29. In that constitution, it has all it takes to eliminate crime.
“And the two steps to take to eliminate crime is to eliminate crime within government. That is the hardest thing to do in Nigeria.
“One of the reasons why we don’t have an efficient police system is that if we had an efficient police system, half of those who are in government will be in jail.
“So, it’s not in the interest of the government as it’s today, to have effective police. But they need the police for protection. So, I will make that difference.”
