 The governor of Benway State Samuel Utom has given one month's deadline to the federal government to approve his letter to procure AK-47 rifle license at the passing out parade of the second batch of the state volunteer community guards. Utom said that he had applied for the approval of the license but regretted that for over three months he was yet to get a response from the federal government. He said the procurement of the rifles would strengthen the state's logistics, support space and defense capability. I'm still waiting for approval from the federal government. Just by the fact that I've done this application three months ago, no single reply has been given to me. I'm still waiting. I have a responsibility to the state government and the people of Benway State. If in the next one month there is no reply, I will revert to the people of Benway State and seek their opinion on whatever they tell me is what I am going to do. Because the federal government that is complicit in the full honey killings must rise up to its responsibility of protecting lives and property. We cannot continue like this. Our security men have done their best. At least, I don't know all about other places but in Benway State, those conventional security men that have been posted here have done their best. The government will sacrifice their lives.
