Mba has been fantastic, no doubt. But i dont think he can be picked. Mba is now a DIG, Moses Anbakina Jitoboh is also DIG, he was enlisted 1994. And he is to retire 2029, an advantage more than Mba's 2027.

Tinubu will want to bank on longevity. I think Jitoboh is the best suited for the job, the only thing going to play against him is that he is from the South-south. Out of the over 50 people from AIGs and DIGs. He is the youngest with more service year remaining.

If Tinubu has the intention of picking Mba, they wouldn't have promoted him. His safest place is the AIG. They could have put it that since he is the most senior AIG from east, reason he's chosen. His seniors from the AIGs rank from other region will understand. ..

Mba is DIG, he should be preparing for retirement as soon as possible.

What if the reason Mba was elevated to DIG before appointment to IG is so that the present DIGs wouldn’t have to retire or whatever.

Think it politically….

In the appointment of Service Chiefs, Tinubu needs to give something to the Southeast. I’m supposing that Tinubu would be more comfortable with conceding the IGP position to the Southeast than the Army, Navy or Airforce. Except he wants to exclude the Southeast like Buhari did. Which he can still do and heaven will not fall anyways 😏.

Alkali should have gone since March 1, 2023 ... Buhari left him there, I somehow believe he is on borrowed time, though.

If he leaves now, will you pick an IGP who was appointed AIG in April and DIG in June of the same year?

Honestly, Mba's promotion has been meteoric.

I think the only reason he’s getting away with these things is because he seems to be an exceptional officer. That’s why people are excusing it that he deserves it. Other than that, his promotions is enough to cause misgivings within the force.

Regardless, Tinubu can still appoint him IGP and the rest of the officers would have no choice than to fall in line.

fergie001:
Leaves 20/11/2026.

Where do you usually get these details?😎

senatordave1:
I'll have preferred MBA but tinubu would have anmounced him rather than this dig promotion.again,I read somewhere that tinubu was looking at two officers on cp rank who had about 4 years,one is from SW,one is a northerner and that they were planning to promote them any time soon.the promotions obago

Mba also has 4 years left in service.

But Tinubu can do whatever rocks his boat. He’s the president now.😏

fergie001:
See, IGPs are picked from AIG upwards.

We have had more who were appointed from AIG-rank than DIG. In the recent years, only this particular IGP was picked from the DIG position (he spent about 4 months in that position).

The Presidents we have had favour someone more younger. I doubt Mba will be recommended at least now, because we have a lot of 1990s above him.

Well, whatever rocks their boat.

By December of 2023, you will be hanging Obi’s picture on your wall as president of Nigeria.

Just calm down.

lhordspy:
Dont let your hopes up. Once an AIG is appointed as IG. Mba as DIG will automatically retire. Because i am also very sure Tinubu will want to avoid the buhari issues he had with retirement of police IG from Adamu to Usman Baba. Tinubu will want to appoint someone from AIG rank who still has like 5-6 years of service left.

Which means Mba has to retire due to seniority.

I don’t know what Tinubu would do but Mba’s 4 years that he has left in office is not bad.

Having enlisted into the force in June of 1992, he’s not likely to retire until May or March of 2027 (if he’s to proceed on 3 months leave before retirement) which means he might stay to oversee the 2027 general elections before retirement. I don’t think that’s bad for stability.

fergie001:
It will really depend on his seniors.

If many experienced ones will leave because of him, he will not be promoted. I think majority of his seniors are in the 1990 category.

He is 1992-set, his Seniors will determine how far he can go. If he is apponted now, it will rattle the Force.

Ihordspy is up there arguing that he can’t be appointed because Tinubu would want to look at the rank of AIGs to appoint an IGP, meanwhile you are suggesting that maybe those who made the rank of DIG before him will be considered before him.

Which way are we going?

fergie001:
I doubt because he is leaving in 2027, but who knows, he is not new to Lagos.

His MSc was at UNILAG, he has been DPO, Area Commander, Lagos PRO etc

By saying he’s leaving in 2027, are you saying he has a short time to stay in the force or are you saying he has a long time?

Because I’ve seen IGPs who were appointed when they had just a year and some months left in service.

If Mba is appointed now, he’d have about 4 years to stay in service which would most likely make him one of the longest serving IGPs.

Again, I’d speculate he’s in Tinubu’s good books possibly from his time in Lagos.

fergie001:
Udo is from Ikwuano LGA...

That's why I edited my initial comment. He is most senior by years of Service not rank.

Mba and Udo were promoted AIG the same time (April 2023). The former out-ranked the latter during their promotion to AIG, you don't expect me to give you the reason ooo

See once you get to CP, every other thing there na jara

I think they are preparing Mba for IGP.

I’m supposing Tinubu would be more comfortable having an Igbo IGP than having an Igbo man heading the Army, the Airforce, the Navy or CDS.

But what do I know?

yarimo:
this is not up to season 1 self

He asked a simple question that required a simple practical answer but you descended into quarreling him about the frequency of Igbo threads on Nairaland. How does that answer his question?

All that was required of you is to tell him when Igbos have ever fought with their host in any state of the Southwest, Southsouth, North Central, Northwest or Northeast.

Just give an instance with date and location.

Don’t hide under the frequency of Igbo threads to dodge the question.

beejaay:
another Igbo thread.. una no dey tire... an average of 30 threads on igbo everyday.. are you guys that jobless? every thread, every comments on every threads that has nothing to do with igbo must have igbo innuendoes....is Igbo your god??oro yin ti fe suwa ooo

I will sell to the parallel market

It is important to read and comprehend before reacting. Not doing so is why so many people fail English

You will sell to the parallel market but you are here arguing that Abokis don’t get their dollar from CBN.

Where do you stand gan gan?

2mch:
Mathematics Professor? Lmaooo! Arise News Director? How are these witnesses going to prove for a fact that Obi won the election. Were they present? If I was a judge at this tribunal, walahi!

Shebi you people have been shouting “Go to court”?

Now Obi has gone to court and you are still interested in who he brings as witness?

How is that your business?

If he thinks bringing a vulcanizer as witness will help his case, what’s your business with that?

In my opinion, all slim girls in Nigeria should be getting petrol at N130 per litre. They're too lovely to suffer

Slim girls are bae.

That’s why I marvel when I see some stupid idiotic girls going to do nyash without knowing that not all guys are attracted to nyash.

Don’t be too euphoric, Tinubu might not celebrate Christmas as president.

Seyi Tinubu’s side chick😏

The lead counsel for INEC argued that bringing the witness on short notice leaves the legal team of the electoral commission at a disadvantage.

The Labour Party (LP) and its presidential candidate, Peter Obi, during Thursday’s proceedings at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal, presented Eric Ofuegbu, a professor of Mathematics at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, as their 4th witness.

The petitioners challenging the election of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 presidential election, also presented the ARISE News Director of Operations, Lummie Edevbie, as a subpoenaed witness and 5th overall witness for the petitioners so far, according to ARISE News.

However, Abubakar Mahmoud, the lead counsel for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) informed the Court that he had just been served the statement of the witness, Ofuegbu, on Thursday morning (today).

The lead counsel for INEC argued that bringing the witness on short notice leaves the legal team of the electoral commission at a disadvantage.

He described the action of the counsel for the Labour Party as an ambush and urged the Court to step down the witness to give his team adequate time to study the witness’ statement.

But Wole Olanipekun (SAN), the lead counsel for President Tinubu, said that he had no problem allowing the witness to give his testimony.

Olanipekun however stated that standing down the witness for a few minutes would not be out of place.

But the INEC lawyer interjected and said that the legal team of the electoral body would need about 48 hours, based on the pre-hearing report, to study the statement of a star/expert witness.

He, therefore, urged the Court to grant his prayer.

The Chairman of the Court, Justice Haruna Tsammani, in a short ruling stated that in the interest of justice and fair hearing, the witness would be led in evidence on Thursday while cross-examination will be held on Friday.

Meanwhile, part of Ofuegbu’s statement is data analysis of the presidential election results of Benue and Rivers states.

The statement also included blurred 18,088 polling unit results of the election.

The Labour Party also tendered a letter dated February 20, 2023, showing how Ofuegbu was engaged to carry out data analysis of the presidential election.

Parachoko:
Why do you have to post here on Nairaland what an ordinary and unknown civilian like you post on Twitter?

The owner of the twitter account is even an Igbo girl

If you have a problem with the Yorubas, attack directly and stop hiding behind a Northerner while attacking. Nah Cowards dey behave the way you and the Twitter account owner dey behave.

There's nothing the unknown Twitter account owner don post, wey people never talk on Nairaland since yesterday.

Again, did you read my commentary?

If yes, what did my commentary say to what she posted whether she’s Igbo or Hausa?

Parachoko:
You Igbos see Hausa and Fulanis as god

You quickly com post what an unknown small girl from the north post on Twitter

So what do you even want us to do now sef?

Did you even read the commentary you quoted at all?

Did you?

lhordspy:
That girl is an obidient. I know that twiiter handle very well. She is known on twitter for pushing fake north narratives. Always claiming North this not North that.

I wont be surprised if she is from the east masquerading as northerner

Infact... She is igbo not anywhere near the north. i am 100% sure

She is Obidient but she’s a northerner.

And it’s not everything you should attack. Cuz I see no reason you wanna attack this post.

That girl just said the truth of how all those northern BDCs feel. Because with dollars now easily accessible from banks, do you think they will retain the kind of patronage they were used to having?

Why go to risk your life inside Hausa quarters when your bank can give you at same rate?

The only people that would still be their customer right now are criminals and yahoo boys who don’t want their financial dealings tracked.

Aside them, this policy will cripple BDCs.

This northern girl on Twitter has just criticized the floating of the Naira as an anti-northern agenda or policy.

But would you blame her?

The disparity in exchange rate has been to the advantage of northern Bureau De Change (BDC) operators who source their dollars from the CBN, sometimes below official rate, and sell to the public at black market rate.

These guys dominated that section of financial business for decades and constituted themselves as cabals against every efforts that had hitherto been made to unify exchange rate in country.

For them, Nigerian economy can cripple, due to low Foreign Direct Investment occasioned by the multiple exchange rate regime, as long as they are feeding fat.

I don’t like Tinubu’s face, but his calls so far has been commendable. The leeches on Nigerian economy need to start being poured some insecticide so that Nigeria can survive.

TheGreatIYANU:
My brother... I cannot blame you for blaming Tinubu. I cannot also blame Tinubu himself because I don't suffer from selective Amnesia.

GEJ's tenure (albeit paling in comparison to PMB's) was a socio-economic disaster.

Agreed!

But most of the things that bedeviled GEJ’s government were humanly orchestrated by power mongers who were out to frustrate his government.

But being a weak man he is, the idiot never took decisive actions against those people even when I’m sure he must have had enough security report and intelligence about who was behind what.

Let’s not act like we are babies.

TheGreatIYANU:
Reports coming out from the woodwork of wanton, colossal & staggering corruption under Booohari's nose are discombobulating to say the least.

PMB's PA's father allegedly had 1.5TRILLION in his account, not million, not billion!

My plea: abeg... let Tinubu expose and deal with them for the next four years, as he seems poised to. If PO had won & does what needs be done, 'they' will turn it to tribal matter and scatter the country.

I just pray BAT & crew face this people. PMB will go down in history as the WORST HUMAN EVER (past, current & future) to govern a country.

I say future so assuredly because if anyone comes after that is worse than him, the country will never survive it.

All blame to Tinubu for supporting him to power after repackaging him as a reformed democrat.

Without Tinubu we would never have had Buhari, would we?

DodadaKoKigbe:
Tinubu will not be Nigeria’s president beyond November of 2023. Because he’s mandate thief, a drug baron, a corrupt vagabond and an election rigger.

The only reason I’m supporting him is because I’m also a criminal who needs a criminal in power so that criminality can thrive in Nigeria. I know I’m stupid but my stupidity is already beyond redemption and I can’t help my stupid self.

Fixed

LeoDeKing:
Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a good man, fear him not.

The person to be afraid of is that Agulu man desperately searching for a manhood that was never missing.

By Christmas of 2023, you will be hanging the picture of that Agulu man in your office.

I pray for your mental health when that time comes.

helinues:
The current EFCC agent is compromise. They only go after selected people even at that, they have poor record of winning court case, infact some cases have been stalled.

Fighting corruption is something necessary cos it's killing us most especially in Nigeria.

EFCC should be replaced with FIB ( Federal Investigation Bureau) with the task of working like Usa FBI

You think the problem is in the name? Naaaah!

The problem is in those who run the organization. When Nuhu Ribadu was there, did you not see how efficient EFCC was?

Unfortunately, after him, clowns have taken turns as EFCC chairmen which is why the agency has now become a ridicule of its former self.

The only reasonable suggestion I have for that agency is that EFCC should be merged together with ICPC. The two of them are doing the same thing. Then the appointment of its head should be more merit based than just appointing any idiot to witch-hunt the enemy of the president.

My own is, I hope it will be safe o?

Before somebody will be driving on the road and hear “kpowai” like this car below 👇.

They need to talk about the safety please.

Lol!

The thing is sweeting him🤣🤣🤣

Buhari is a disaster, a plague that shouldn’t have happened if not for Tinubu’s greed and inordinate ambition.

Idiot took us 100 years backwards 🤦

Nothing he touches grows, not even his cows could give birth in 8 years 😏.

A criminal posing as a saint.

The truth is that Tinubu didn’t even do what I was afraid he’d do.

I was already waiting for when Yari would be arrested.

Or alternatively, opposition members will be surreptitiously locked out until election of principal officers is over. But he didn’t do it.

But I guess it’s because he knew that Yari was not acting alone. He had some powerful northern backers and Tinubu and his camp knew. That’s why it was difficult to take him out.
