Not all of them will retire, only those who are senior to him.

Example: Sanusi Lemu was already DIG when the present IGP was Ag Force Secretary (CP then AIG) and later AIG. In the space of a few months, Baba moved from DIG to IGP.

Lemu didn't retire because they both joined the force same day (15/03/1988) despite him been DIG years before him.

They don't follow those things.

Usman Baba had three (3) years yet was appointed, it's all on paper.

MODIFIED

Based on my calculations,apart from aig Sadiq abubakar and Frank,aig adepoju ilori has 4 more years in service.i don't know of echeng,horsfall,zannah,Paul ojeka

OlujobaSamuel:

Is MBA the highest ranking AIG from the East,I thought he was promoted few months ago. The highest ranking officer ought to be the DIG since seniority is considered

The highest ranking John amadi just retired

fergie001:

In the Police Act, there must be a DIG from every Zone.

Since the SE had no AiG and according to the Police Act every Zone must have it, CP Celestine Okoye was promoted straight to DIG, he retired in 2019.

No AIG still, CP Joseph Egbunike was promoted straight to DIG. They were both the most Senior Officers.

Amadi was promoted AIG as the most senior Officer and later DIG after the death of Egbunike. He retired on June 10, 2023.

Mba is the most Senior Officer (by rank not years of Service) from the SE and will leave the Police on 18/06/2027, Ciroma is also the most senior Officer from the NE... So there is no choice, they both have to cover the DIG slots for their Zones.

Ciroma retires this year

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

True,obj said promotions above cp,colonel,navy captain,group captain are political

Penguin2:


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?

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.

senatordave1:


Ciroma retires this year

He retires 03/03/2025.

Penguin2:


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?

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

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.

Or become IGP

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?

Alkali was made AIG in 2016, DIG in Nov 2020, IGP in April 2021.

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.

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 😏.
