A rights group, International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to consider appointing the next Inspector General of Police from the South-East at the expiration of IGP Ibrahim Idris’ tenure.

The group, in a press statement signed by its board of trustees chairman, Emeka Umeagbalasi and made available to DAILY POST in Awka, stated that the current Inspector-General would be retiring on January 3, 2019.

He said, “It is authoritatively confirmed that the present Inspector General of Police, IGP Ibrahim Kpotum Idris, shall be statutorily or legally retired from the Nigeria Police Force on 3rd January 2019.

“Owing to widespread allegations and reports of exclusion of the citizens of Southeast from several important federal appointments including top security appointments the vacancy created by the retirement in three weeks time of IGP Ibrahim Kpotum Idris is now a major test case for the Administration.”

The group argued that since the President and his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) have constantly denied hating the Igbo, the retirement of the IG of police would be a good opportunity to demonstrate their claim.

Intersociety however warned against an attempt to keep the retiring IG beyond December 3, as such would be resisted.

“Any attempt to retain him or perpetuate him in office beyond his tenure and the law is a clear invitation to anarchy and impeachment of the existing Constitution.

“As his replacement, the Presidency should pick among Igbo serving senior Police Officers especially those with at least two years to stay in the Force.

“From our checks, it is likely a great opportunity for Nigeria to have a first female Inspector General of Police in the person of recently promoted DIG Peace Ibekwe-Abdallah, an Onitsha (Anambra State) born female DIG, married to northern husband.

“DIG Peace Ibekwe joined the NPF with appointment number AP25120 on 1st February 1986 and was born on 7th April 1963.”

The group also listed some other senior police officers of Igbo extraction, and their birth and recruitment dates, who could be considered for the job.

They include; Boniface K. Onyeabor, Celestine Okoye, John Ogbonnaya Amadi, Okoli C. Michael, Ngozi Vivian Onadeko, Joe Nwachukwu Enweonwu, Joseph O. Egbunike, Edward Chuka Egbuka and Josephine Ogechi Nna among others.

Quota system general won't agree

that is blackmail..won't fly?

You have listed them for compulsory retirement for a northerner precisely to replace Idris.

Hmmm

But igbo shouldn't take this personal, cos no threat can make buhari change his mind if he wish to appoint from any part of the country..

The IG Will be retired after his 2019 general elections assignment,

Buhari should make Nnamdi Kanu his grandfather if he like, it won't stop us from sending him back to Daura come 2019.

The President is going to extend the IGP’s appointment by another 1 year... This is the samething He did with the Chief Of Defense

This demand is very unreasonable, they gave 5% and yet want 50% but that's not gonna happen. They should wait until Atikulation bears fruits

shut up your gutter and bury your head in shame. If 5% is not important, why is he masturbating all over the place trying to woo the east with some imaginary presidency come 2023? You and your kinds that take pleasure in bigotry and fascism are the bane of Nigeria's unity and prosperity. Spit on your empty skull

The gutter is for you sir. You are the 5%, you are nothing

This people think Buhari is a fool, capital NO. U can't eat ur cake and still have it, what contribution do ur people made to the emergence of PMB. IGP Idris will police 2019 election whether u like it or not. And after election somebody from SW, North or SS can take that position but not people who want to secede. U can go and pick Nnamdi Kanu to be IGP in ur biafra land but not Nigeria.

IGP is not a right, it's an appointment.

They want to blackmail Buhari into appointing an Igbo IGP.

Forget it.

Igbos aren't getting anything from the table until they bring something to the table.

What will be the fate of the man next in line

You better careful what you ask for.

If he makes Igbo IGP ipob will be in deep shyyyte.

The Igbo IGP will show his slave mentality and start hunting ipob to please his Yoruba masters wnd show us how good he is at the job.

Yoruba, the most Superior race on earth!

GeneralOjukwu:


Smart of him.

That's what i would do in his place.

Those who have negligible effect on my electoral value can bleat for as long as they wish.

I would keep one of my top hatchet men

By the way, PDP = shiit = APC =shiit. No difference.

I just have a slight preference for APC

I’m sure when He does that those People will still come out to display their ignorance

The position is not reserved for any tribe but competent trustworthy loyal Nigerians, who are not separatists.

Please don't disturb president BUHARI with any mumu suggestions or request, why not go to NNAMDI KANU so that he can appoint IGP for you people?

Abi o. Is BSS not a security service? After all, the man there is an impostor from sudan but we Nigerians are not complaining. Ohamudike should appoint them to head their very strong bss abeg.

No mind them; they want him to entrust national security into the hands of proven traitors - dem no well.

We no need am

Atikuobi we know.
