According to him, he disagrees with President Muhammadu Buhari on the matter.

Appearing on Arise television, the previous Governor of Abia State said states need to be permitted to have their own cops.

Recently, Buhari had actually stated governors will utilize state authorities to witch-hunt and frighten viewed opponents and critics.

Ruling out the issue of state cops under his administration, Buhari had stated: “State police is not an alternative. Discover the relationship between local government and the guvs.”

Nevertheless, Kalu stated: “Even when I was governor, I’ve always believed that we need to have state police. I do not have the very same viewpoint as the president (Mr Buhari) on state cops.

“I’ve constantly believed that if we have an expense or an act that can persuade the Assembly with the constitution, why not.”
