Ngige, a trained medical doctor and former Minister of Labour and Employment under President Buhari, said he redirected his security votes toward strengthening public safety rather than using the funds for personal gain or political purposes.
Speaking during an interview in Abuja, he said:
“Security votes are meant to secure lives and property, not for personal use as many governors wrongly believe. I used mine to build real security.”
He recalled how, upon assuming office in 2003, he proposed a bill to the Anambra State House of Assembly to establish community-based vigilante services. Despite initial political tensions, the lawmakers passed the bill after reconciliation and mutual understanding.
“We encouraged each community to submit names of individuals for the vigilante teams—including known ‘bad boys’. We identified them, confronted them with their reputation, and told them clearly: ‘You’re on our list. If you mess up, you’re done. But now, help us identify and neutralize real threats.’”
Ngige said the plan worked effectively.
“We paid them well—₦30,000 back then, which today would be worth several millions. They got meals twice daily, buses, recharge cards. They were motivated and loyal.”
He added that when federal police support was withdrawn from him during a political crisis, these former “bad boys” became his personal security.
“They even carried out successful operations outside the state—tracking criminals as far as Aba. That’s what security funding should look like, not the personal slush fund it’s become for many.”
Ngige emphasized that real leadership involves making tough decisions for the safety and welfare of citizens—even if it means turning society’s outcasts into community defenders.
