The president is working. . .

ThanK God Joe has started working . . .

He is not work anything. just following the fire brigdage approach of other past presidents.He is only doing this toool the tension been raised on security in the country. I bet you their recommedations will never be implemented. Absolute good plan with bad intention.

Great Great Great change in the police especially the retirement of all Deputy Inspectors General of Police.

The Justice Niki Tobi panel constituted in September 2001 by former Governor Joshua Dariye on the Jos crisis had recommended the retirement MD Abubakar from the Police force. He ws also with Biu in d airport bomb cover up during Abacha era. D blast that killed Dr Omoshola.

In a White Paper released in Jos, the panel suggested that AIG Abubakar should be dismissed if he refuses to retire.

The panel said: "Religious fanatics should not be posted to head state police commands. The commission recommends that for his ignoble role during the September 2001 crisis which resulted in the loss of lives, the former Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, Alhaji M.D. Abubakar, be advised to retire from the Nigeria Police Force and in the event of his refusal to do so, he should be dismissed from the service."

Abubakar from Zamfara State who was indicted twice between 2004 and 2006 by a Jos crises Panel, is alleged to have sponsored some Islamist Militant Group when he was Commissioner of Police in Bauchi and Plateau States.

[size=28pt]Gaffeluck Jonathan na Wayo![/size]

Boko IG go, Boko IG come. Bombing no dey finish.

Who be funmi??

muhehehe. . .a man who has once being indicted.I laff in pity 4 this country

For dos self servicing over his appointment.The new IG M.D Abubakar was alleged to have been involved with one Zakari Biu in the Abacha bomb dat killed Dr Sola Omoshola at d Lagos airport in 1996,he was also said to have been recommended 4 dismissal/disengagement 4rm d NPF 4 his active role in d Jos crises of 2001.This man is an ethnic jingoist Ãήϑ a religious fundamentalist of d highest order,who knws, he might even be one of d backers of Boko haram.Its not yet uhuru nlanders

From 1999 to date how many report do we have on commitee findings,frm oputa pannel to tobi,what about gunnis report of 2011 fraud,sorry election violent,have we forggen national conference,did they impliment anything? Do not expect any gud frm dis part of world where human life is useless.we are so blind with tribal sentiment that we do nt know where we are going, untill we abadone religious differences and chose a cradible leaders that will salvage our nation else we shall continue to suffer complain.as for me let bombs drop.

CP MD abubakar is an islamic bigot.He attempted to implement sharia dress code in Lagos as CP of Lagos.He order the indiscriminate arrest and detention of ladies percieved to be "indecently" dressed.It took the advocacy of womens groups and fashola's reprimand to halt that.This is a wrong move

Twice indicted,once recommended for dismissal,alleged involved with CP Zakare Biu in d murder of a Nadeco activist;d same Biu alleged involved in d escape of Bharamist,Kabiru Sokoto;loads of baggage to carry into d IG's office.In saner climes, ,but we know we are not in saner climes here,so anything goes

sometimes i wonder if this odechukwu brain is made up of human brain or fish brain.
fool

Another wrong move. Every Bauchi State Leader/Police Officer is sympathetic to Boko Haram. Biu is a good example.

[size=18pt]I bet Jonathan has a bunch of nincompoop advsing him, how does a known islamist become IGP, NA WAH OH, dem swear for this our President.[/size]

Should these be true, Nigeria is in trouble! Maybe rather than saying good luck to Nigeria last year we should have been crying bad luck to Nigeria. May God rise to our help. Fresh air indeed.

Please lets have a copy or a link as to the reports of Justice Niki Tobi of 2001 b4 we conclude o.

@cnario abeg give us link jare all you GEJ haters. Nothin wen im go do una go like. If im go toilet shit, una go talk say im shit de smell. if im no go toilet nkor, dem go say na ontop bed im de shit. Nonsense people.

Abeg GEJ nice one jare.

i am sure he must have assured GEJ  during his interview that he had one on one contact with his boys( boko haram kingpins)having worked with them in 2001 in Jos.GEJ would then have giving him a mandate to pacify his followers for a while so he can have breathing space.Nonsense

PreSident Jonathan is drama-king!! He loves attention too much!!! He IS replacin a controversial Hafiz Ringim a more controversial MD Abubakar (as IGP) who has a worse record than Zakari Biu!!!!!!!!!!! Don't hit GEJ ooo, he is a comedian juSt like hiS wife!!! MD Abubakar was indicted with complicity in the gruesome killing of Dr Shola Omoshola and was recommended for sack by the Oputa Panel.I know MD ABUBAKAR new IG of police.He was involved in covering up BRUTAL BOMBING of Dr Omoshola we petitioned OPUTA PANEL.Never got JUSTICE.Dr Shola Omoshola was an American trained criminologist and head of security at the Lagos international airport. He was killed by a bomb planted in his official car. His friends say Omoshola was a "no nonsense" aviation security officer. He is reputed for preventing several money laundering attempts by the then Nigerian military ruler, General Sanni Abacha, and his family members. The ruler and his cronies were notorious for exporting large quantity of foreign currencies in bags. Omoshola had regular brush with military personnel who, claiming to act for the presidency, flout aviation security rules to transport currencies through Lagos airport unhindered.
