Only An Alteration Of The 1999 Constitution Can Enable IGP’s Appointment And Tenure Extension – AGF Wrong On Interpretation”

By Dr. Tonye Clinton Jaja

The current Hon. Attorney-General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice is a lawyer for whom I have absolute respect for.

My respect for him is rooted in his capacity for legal research and legal advocacy to identify aspects of our legal system and jurisprudence that requires changes and to follow through with such changes.

It is in this spirit that the AGF, in his erstwhile position as a lawyer for Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi (RCA) made an indelible contribution to the jurisprudence of Nigeria in the case of Amaechi vs. Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and others (2008) In that case the Supreme Court of Nigeria ruled that votes belong to the political party and not to a candidate, that is how CRA was installed as Governor of Rivers State although he never featured or contested in the Governorship election.

It is in this same spirit of making contributions to the jurisprudence of Nigeria, that I am writing this open letter to the Hon. Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.

This letter is an appeal for the Hon. AGF to reconsider his previous position where he stated as follows:

““The appointment of Egbetokun which took effect from 31st day of October, 2023 would have come to an end on his attainment of 60 years of age on 4th day of September, 2024,” the statement reads.

“However, before his retirement age, the Police Act was amended to allow the occupant of the office to remain and complete the original four-year term granted under Section 7 (6) of the Act, notwithstanding the fact that he has attained the age of 60 years.

“This has, therefore, statutorily extended the tenure of office of Egbetokun to and including the 31st day of October 2027, in order to complete the four-year tenure granted to him.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Egbetokun’s continuous stay in office is in line with the provisions of the Police Act amended in 2024 which allow the occupant of the office to enjoy a term of four years effective from the date of his appointment as IGP, in this case, 31st day of October 2023.”

Contrary to the foregoing assertions by the Hon. AGF, I hold the view that it is only through an alteration of Sections 214, 215 and 216 of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution (as altered) that the tenure of the Inspector-General of Police can be extended.

The logic behind this argument is that, the office of the Inspector-General of Police is a direct creation and established by the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria therefore, it is only through an alteration of the said Constitution that changes can be made to the tenure of office of the said Inspector-General of Police.

For the avoidance of any doubts, Section 215, of the 1999 Nigerian Constitution is reproduced hereunder:

“Appointment of Inspector-General and control of Nigeria
pensionable service, whichever is earlier.”

Following from the above, by enactment of the Police Act, 2020, the IGP and all other police officers are now classified as “public servants” by virtue of the definition of”public servants” as provided under the 1999 Nigerian Constitution, therefore, it logically follows that their age of retirement is the same with other public servants as defined by the same Constitution, which pegs it at 60 years of age!!!

On this note, I rest my case and await your re-consideration of your stance on this matter, failing which we (ALDRAP) shall file a lawsuit at the National Industrial Court of Nigeria to seek a clarification on this subject matter!!!

FULANI SHOULD KEEP LEARNING TO SPEAK IGBO, OCCUPY MUSLIM POST AND SAY SEE IGBO MAN APPOINTED TO SHIT.

U ARE WASTING YOUR TIME, THINKING IGBO WILL FOLLOW YOU INTO BONDAGE.


KEEP GIVING THEM TITLE, NOBODY IS LISTENING AND NOBODY CARES IF FULANI WANT TO START SPEAKING IGBO.


IGBO PEOPLE ARE CHRISTIAN AND NOTHING LIKE IGBO MUSLIM.


ALL THIS IS TO NO EFFECT, AND ONCE U CROSS YOUR LINE, WE WILL DEAL WITH YOUR FVCK UP.

Why are many Nigerians emotionally tribalistic?

Islam is not Fulani.
Neither is the Quran written in the Fulani language.
The official Language for reading and writing the Al Quran is the Arabic language.
And that was because Islam was founded in the Middle East where the Arabic language is widely spoken.
The Fulani language is Fulfulde.
Anyone who practice's Islam is referred to as a Muslim.
So how does Fulani should learn speaking Igbo come into place here?
We should stop changing every Narrative to a Tribal War.

The Nigerian constitution permits freedom of worship.
For an Igbo man to have attain such height in Islam, is obvious he must have been a very dedicated Muslim.
Well deserved
Congratulations.

' based on the provisions of the newly AMENDED Police Act'

So everything must be AMENDED in speed for their own selfish interest.
Yet it is taking them forever to AMEND the law for the President and governor's to be in office for only one tenure of 6 years.
Has he not heard of the outcome and resolution of the Police Service Commission yesterday?
Senior Advocate of Nonsense.

This NBS report shows that more people were kidnapped in Nigeria (2.2m) in the last 1 year than the populations of:

Lesotho - 2,120,000
Slovenia - 2,118,697
Latvia- 1,871,871
Equatorial Guinea - 1,669,000
Guinea-Bissau - 1,663,000
Estonia- 1,360,546
Cyprus -1,358,282
Mauritius - 1,235,000
Djibouti- 1,052,000
Comoros - 860,600
Cape Verde- 491,100
Sao Tome and Principe- 228,300
Seychelles- 105,000
Luxembourg -673,036
Malta- 539,607

The report also shows that more Nigerians (614,937) were killed than in the Russia - Ukraine war (67,000). This casualty figure in Nigeria is almost 10× more than the casualty figures in the Russia-Ukraine war.

This report is not from SERAP or Sahara Reporter's, before we accused them of being biased with the Tinubu government.

NIGERIA Bureau of Statistics is our own national bureau of statistical analysis and index.
Let us keep deceiving ourselves that all is well.

*A worrisome development.*

NIGERIA politicians are all the same.
He has joined the league of men who destroyed this country in one year.
Wetin the first year in office everything in Nigeria from the smallest to the largest was increased, Including sachet water and magi.
The only thing they could not increase is the air we breathe.
Every move they make is not for the interest of the country, is all for their personal interest and selfish gain.

Those pump action are British pump action.
How did they get into NIGERIA?
Another evidence of how porous the NIGERIA boarder and seaport is.
Kudo's to the Security Officer's.

Hushpuppy20:
What of APC govt ?

APC IS WORST.

wellmax:
Can you point out any errors from what he said.

He’s quoting the law, you are quoting sentiments.
Obidense

Yes you are right.
He is quoting the law.
The Law that is always amended out of nepotistic and tribal interest.
A law that is being amended by every new president just to make sure his fellow tribes man is in office to protect his interest.

JagabanBorgu:
1. Can you tell us how the north was marginalizing the middle belt?
2. The north is kicking against the reform because the leaders just like the average Nigerian is scared of changing from what they know and are used to.
The reform will place more responsibility on them and make life harder for them, that's why Nigerians kicked against subsidy removal, it's for same reason.

1. I will advise you to read J. S. TARKAAND ETHNIC MINORITY AGITATIONS AND STRUGGLES IN NIGERIA.
That will answer your question about the acidic marginalization the middle belt suffered from the North.
They were reduced to a voiceless people.

2. They are kicking against the Tax reforms because they still want to continue to take undue advantage of their size that whatever they agree on must stand.

NIGERIA politicians can amend an Eagle 🦅 to become a chicken 🐔🐓.
So long as is for their nepotistic and tribal interest, to keep their tribes man in office, they can amend anything amendable.
Corrupt politician's.

What does this one know.
I have stopped taking this OLUMUYIWA ADEJOBI seriously.
All his Announcement is copy and paste.
Is obvious he is not the person writing it.

Who are we to Judge?
You cannot judg anyone not until you have walked their path in life.
May God Have Mercy on her shortcomings.
Rest in Peace.

JagabanBorgu:
You can look for a way to go your separate without accusing the north of what you don't know.
Before Independence, J.S. Tarka of Benue formed a middle belt political party which I can't remember the full name right now unless I google it to clearly show the north is not as the map shows, somehow, u lots are forcing your ideas on the north, the north where an average Northerner don't really know much about the 1967 map.

Thank you for your thoughts.

1. Joseph Tarka formed the United Middle Belt Congress.
He was a transport minister during the Yakubu Gowon government. His political ideology for forming that party was to make the middle belt that was already marginalized by the core North to become politically relevant.
Even with the United Middle Belt Congress, the entire middle belt was still part of the North Region.

2. The average Northerner don't really know much about the 1967 map.
I so much agree with you on that context.
But their elites knows so much about the map.
Their elite's know so much secrets about the confederation of Nigeria and it's independence.
Till date, they are using it as an advantage over the entire South.
Wonder why they all united against the recent Tax reform.
They want to continue to cheat the rest of Nigeria.

Is so difficult to believe this was once a man.
So Bob and his Risky fellow's are everywhere.
This generation have gone crazy.
All thanks to Trump.
God was not confused to have created him a man.

See his dry head.
This can't be the head of a 60 year's old man.
This man is of the same age with Tinubu.
70 years old man claiming he is 60 year's old all because of position.

May God deliver us from Northerner Nigeria.
The North cheated the rest of Nigeria right from inception.
They still see the old 1967 map that is why they still believe they own this country.
The old 1967 map will never be erased from their minds.
The best thing is for everyone to go their separate way's.
NIGERIA is a big scam. The creation of 36 states cannot change that fact.

What was the naira to dollar 💰 during General Abacha government?
Artificial good news.
Go to the bank they will tell you they don't have dollar's.
Go to the black market in Wuse, you will never get the naira at 1,493 to a dollar 💰.
If you doubt me, please post the address on social media where we can go and get dollar at 1,493.
Government is now number one in spreading of fake news.

They know how to address themselves as His Royal Majesty, yet they are bunch of Royal House Boys.
They cannot feed well without politicians.
How our traditional monarch became useless in this generation is a pity.

The more reasons why the Army can never take over this corrupt government.
They have compensated them with road block money.
You can imagine the billions they make.

RealityKings1:
There is no secret in Nigeria just like you said. I wonder how you came across that

Sir, please do your fact check.
Some senior police officers are not happy with the fraudulent amendment of the police act.
Because it may cut some of their service short.
So some of his colleagues are complaining behind the curtains, but because of the nature of their job, they cannot come out and protest openly.
They all serve together and know each other too well.
