PRESIDENT TINUBU ACCEPTS EGBETOKUN’S RESIGNATION AS INSPECTOR-GENERAL OF POLICE, APPOINTS TUNJI DISU IN ACTING CAPACITY

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has accepted the resignation of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr Kayode Egbetokun, following the submission of his letter citing pressing family considerations.

President Tinubu received Mr Egbetokun's resignation earlier today and expressed his profound appreciation for Egbetokun's decades of distinguished service to the Nigeria Police Force and the nation. The President acknowledged his dedication, professionalism, and steadfast commitment to strengthening internal security architecture during his tenure.

Appointed in June 2023, Egbetokun was serving a four-year term scheduled to conclude in June 2027, in line with the amended provisions of the Police Act.

In view of the current security challenges confronting the nation, and acting in accordance with extant laws and legal guidance, President Tinubu has approved the appointment of Assistant Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu to serve as Acting Inspector-General of Police with immediate effect.

The President is confident that AIG Disu’s experience, operational depth, and demonstrated leadership capacity will provide steady and focused direction for the Nigeria Police Force during this critical period.

In compliance with the provisions of the Police Act 2020, President Tinubu will convene a meeting of the Nigeria Police Council shortly to formally consider the appointment of AIG Disu as substantive Inspector-General of Police, after which his name will be transmitted to the Senate for confirmation.

The President reiterates his administration’s unwavering commitment to enhancing national security, strengthening institutional capacity, and ensuring that the Nigeria Police Force remains professional, accountable, and fully equipped to discharge its constitutional responsibilities.

This is Bayo Onanuga PM media vs Sowore SR media. Bayo is showing Sowore that who is the Presidency is a question he can answer

Repost:

You know when someone said if the government denies something that, it means it's true, this is one of the moments I think that may be true. Egbetokun had enough time to resign. People have rejected appointments and extension of service. In fact, I remember Jega was offered an extension, he said no, my tenure has expired and he left. So, this story no gel. It's likely he was asked to resign or he had to go by force, which is what Sahara Reporters wants us to believe.

Life lesson we can learn from this 👇

Know when to leave, that's honour.


For this administration, they don't know how to clean up things so it makes a mess of everything they try to paint as white. This IGP was one that was supposed to leave, the last person I think that had this kind of executive fiat privilege was Ehindero. The news does not look good if you could extend his service when he was supposed to leave since and now you are telling us he has resigned Tell that to the marines. Didn't they tell this President that tenure extension could kill force morale What happened to the Nigerian Army before the shakeup? The President could attempt to give his ADC an undeserved promotion using presidential power. There is a reason why we have processes in place. You people can keep saying it's rewarding of loyalty but Obama's words are so important now. Build strong institutions, not strong men. Indeed, if you must be referred to as your excellency, then the process through which you arrived in the office must be excellent. What we are seeing in this administration is not by mistake. Person wey skip 300 level go do final year project, na for project defense we go see masquerade dance.

God give our leaders the sense to be more patriotic to the country than their ego.

SixSeven:
I hope he succeeds. This was a good appointment. I have been following him for years. The man has good morals to learn from. I hope he can make a good change. Nigeria needs change in moral airwaves by the elites and those in government. You can't give what you don't have. Not a supporter of the government, not a fan of the man whose history is shrouded in mystery but the clock tells the right time twice in a day. This is one of them.

Cruel and evil people seem to be d ones going higher in Nigeria.

I wish him well in all his endeavours.

Egbotokun executed his mandate very well..ensured rigged election with police connivance and ensure no arrest or justice for election offenders. He is a great man

One thing I love about the Emilokan is that he appreciates loyalty. He hardly sack his loyalists, instead he asks for their resignation

Zico5:

He will be retired.
He's senior to Disu.

Just as the incoming IG counselled parents. Social media will not do the job your parents should do.
