The Governor however assured of a good working relationship with the Police authority and other security agencies in the State for effective security of the State.

 

 

Mr Emmanuel maintained that when a government and people work with the security agents without asking for any illegality such society will always experience peace and harmony.

 

“I want to first of all welcome you and let me register sincerely on behalf of the entire Exco and citizens of this State and our utmost thanks to members of your team”.

He expressed gratitude for the reception accorded him in the state and solicited for cooperation of citizens with officers of the Force maintaining that, security is everybody’s business.

 

He called on members of the public to alert the force of any case of lawlessness by its men, restating his commitment to rid the Akwa Ibom Police Command of corrupt elements.
