Compliance To Law, Order: I’ll Adopt International Approach -Guber Aspirant

The governorship aspirant of the Young Progressives Party (YPP), Deacon Danagogo Wenike-Briggs, has said that he will adopt the best international approach to ensure that his government encouraged total compliance to law and order if elected governor of Rivers State.
Wenike-Briggs, said this when he spoke with The Tide in Port Harcourt yesterday.
The approach, according to him, will be to punish patronisers instead of the offenders themselves.
He noted that such will be the best way to tackle law offenders, in that dearth of patronage will force the real offenders to comply strictly.
“When you arrest anyone that buys from the street seller and allow the seller to go unpunished, such patronisers will not stop again the next time to buy, thereby indirectly enforcing the law on behalf of the government “, he said.
Wenike-Briggs, who is also a trained engineer, expressed worries that laws and order are fragrantly disobeyed and offenders go scot-free.
He recalled how laws and order are strictly adhered to in foreign countries and vowed to replicate same in the State, should he emerge as the governor next year.
“Our government will focus more on crime fighting. If you can agree with me, you can see that insecurity is the major enemy we have. And that is why we must all rise to the occasion”, he said.
The Kalabari-born politician maintained that special attention must be given to all crime fighters including the judiciary in the determination to have a crime-free state.
He also said that he will welcome private investors in security in order to ensure an excellent result.
The guber aspirant further informed that he was ready to enthrone good governance and added that the state needed fresh blood that will bring change.
“Of a truth, we need change. Such change must come from something new. You can not expect change from something old .That is why we must work together to succeed”, he said.
