Amid the renewed violence, the presidency reiterated commitment to establishing state police as a structural reform to tackle insecurity nationwide. The pledge was reportedly made during high-level engagements with governors in Abuja, with assurances that key campaign promises on security reforms would be implemented. The proposal carries major political implications because it would require constitutional amendments and reshape federal state power balance, a sensitive issue ahead of the 2027 election cycle. Supporters argue it will decentralize security responses, while critics warn of potential political misuse at state level. �
