we have to give credit where it is due . This is a very good move in theory . It is a well known fact , thanks to many accounts from 'knowledgeable whistleblowers, that Nigerian Governors buy off Police commissioners to ensure they have the police in their pocket throughout the elections. With this move it will be difficult for Governors to 'regroup'  enough , within such a short period , to compromise the new commisioner. Of course this is Nigeria and many , especially the police , can be bought in seconds but this is a good move nonetheless because it is at least a sensible effort.

  with this move it will be difficult for Governors to 'regroup'  enough , within such a short period , to compromise the new commisioner.
