Speaking at Wednesday’s plenary in Abuja, he reminded senators of the chamber’s tradition of robust yet respectful discourse. He encouraged contributions that are thoughtful and focused on strengthening public safety. Akpabio stressed the need to draw on diverse regional perspectives and collective wisdom.

Agree wholeheartedly. Prioritise clear oversight mechanisms, sustainable funding models, and robust training programmes to protect citizens' rights and ensure accountability.

The focus on constitutional principles sounds responsible, but I wonder if political agendas might still steer the debate away from genuine citizen welfare.

True national interest demands more than debate, though. Shouldn't we insist on detailed implementation plans before amending the constitution for state policing?

Lawmakers can schedule public hearings in each state to gather feedback before finalizing the amendment, ensuring transparency and citizen involvement.
