He also expressed his concerns about how the police are currently utilized, arguing that officers should prioritize internal security rather than “escorting individuals or arresting them for insulting others on Facebook.”
Sowore stated, “And I’ve mentioned this before, and I’m going to say it again, which might surprise many, but if I were to become Nigeria’s president tomorrow, my defense minister would be a drone. That’s how strongly I believe in technology.”
In response to this comment, the show host proposed that artificial intelligence could also be integrated into national defense strategies.
Sowore replied, “That’s definitely part of it. I’m planning to set up a control center where people can monitor and track terrorists and take them out.”
