What exactly is the meaning of security vote?
On what and what is this supposed to be spent on? In the last 12 years of civilian government as constituted by the last military government, billions of naira have been frittered away on nothing, yes nothing. We have not seen anything, physical or otherwise to point at as evidence of the security votes having been well spent. We have also not felt more secure as evidenced by militant activities in the Niger Delta, kidnappers in eastern Nigeria and now the bomb-planting members of Boko Haram in northern Nigeria.
Where has the security vote gone?
Often government says the country can only afford to spend a specific amount of money on security. We also condemn our policemen for not being good enough; but then, these same men excel whenever they go out on assignments in other countries. So, what’s wrong with Nigeria? Why have the elected public officers continued to operate a flawed system under a constitution we all know is not the best for the polity? Why do people seemingly become arrogant and acquisitive the moment they become elected public officers? And now, our lives are being threatened by a group whose motives remain murky. How good is your governor handling the affaires of your state?
