Fayemi noted that governors must rise up against the challenges of insecurity within their domain.

The governor said, “Our governor (Bagudu) has put on a good fight. That is the demonstration of his commitment to the welfare of his people. We know, we would overcome these challenges. There are lessons from it, for our own states too where we have federal government colleges and we have ordinary schools belonging to the state.
