Nothing unusual here, that’s simply how the system is wired.

Not too long ago, when the service chiefs were appointed, their seniors were promptly shown the exit door and sent into retirement. So really, there’s nothing abnormal about this it’s not a scene from a political thrillers.

atobs4real:
At last my bros is now IG just like my former Papa Tafa Balogun

Uchesis:
Tinubu said it many years ago that he does not believe in one Nigeria.

That is why a Yoruba man must be the IGP, even if 100 officers will resign for it

It doesn't sound like good organizational policy.

Some other poster looked at your comment and said this policy creates instability. That poster does have a point.

Why bother to have the DIG rank then? Just remove it from the force and be done with it.

Qoko:
Let us forget politics, Oga Disu is one of the most competent police boss I have ever known in the past, Once again, congratulations Oga RRS and SARS 👮

vicfajeze:
Every appointment na Yoruba.Baba Tinubu you too sweet me

Asmanthinket:
Where is he now. I want to know the situation of his matters pls
I thought the is on the us custody with hush puppi. I used to like and envy his achievements.

iguita:
Frank Mba deserved the position though.

And this is not tribal, I am Yoruba.

Prince16:
And d other DIG colleagues -in d same boat - are incompetent and unintelligent??

Promotion on merit in the police ends at deputy commissioner of police. Promotion to commissioner, AIG and DIG are strictly by federal character. As at three years ago, Tunji Disu was a senior officer to Frank Mba. However, availability of vacancy in the South east region pushed Mba to DIG within two years while most of his mates are still commissioners and the lucky ones among his seniors are AIG.

Appointing an AIG as IGP can’t create any instability in the system. In fact, it allows more promotion of officers that have been stagnant as a result of lack of vacancy in their region. Egbetokun will go with all his DIG. New DIGs will be appointed from the rank of the current AIGs. New AIGs will also be appointed from the rank of commissioners who have been stagnant for years. It goes down like that. That’s why so many police officers were celebrating when the news was announced.

Beniyke1:
And none of the seven DIGs were qualified enough to be the IG? Quite unfortunate.
The more you look the less you see.

Padi Padi government…

OMEGA009:
For all those rooting for Frank Mba, pls know that Frank is Junior to Disu and he even entered the Police as an Inspector against Disu who entered as an ASP, yet rose to the rank of DIG ahead of his coursemates and seniors. Thats why you shouldn’t rush to get promotions. He who rushes in, rushes out on time. Thats the job for you.

rummmy:
to slap you dey hungry me

onyxo76:
g

quite agree, anyone who has encountered Mba either directly or indirectly in the past will attest to his competence and work ethics, very intelligent Officer.

johnmartus:
Oh well congratulations to mr Tunji my name sake. Frank mba will surely be missed a fine officer that very diligent in discharge his duty as a police officer.

Kalulu44:

I'm getting your point somehow, now lets leave Frank out of it, what of the other six DIGs, are they also junior or senior to Tunji Disu?

me no go leave ooo.

in other countries, this na political post

I can't blame a politician of his status.
You give sensitive posts like that only to ppl you can trust!

All these well trained officers sacked overnight just because one rudderless El Yekini wants to make his former bodyguard the Inspector General of Police in Nigeria! He made one of his former ADCs The Oniru of Lagos. That one struttles around Lagos overdressed like Othman Dan fodio. Now, this one. Even the just sacked IGP was connected to his days as the Lagos governor. If this is not corruption in it's crudest form, I wonder what it is..

This dangerous trend which was started by the APC is simply dangerous to the system. It does nothing but violence to merit! The idea that a whole generation of seasoned officers can easily be decapitated in one swoop by a flawed presidency, all in a bid to foist the presidents ethnic henchman as the Commanding Officer, must be generally demoralising for officers across the Army and the Police..

iguita:

jaxxy:
because its not my merit but favoritism. And it weakens professionalism, experience and knowledge transfer.

Fujiyama:

Ok.

As long as we all agree that nobody should complain when it isn't favouring his 'group'.

BAT will finish his term and leave - and these practices will continue.

What you are saying is that the promotion of Disu to IGP is to satisfy federal character? Obviously not.



^^^
This is why some of us will always be highly critical of BAT.

We have been saying for ages that strong institutions are the only way to build a nation. BAT clearly doesn't agree.

BAT contnues to talk about his so called economic reforms - but he has done absolutely nothing about public sector reforms. This shows exactly what he stands for.

There is no way anyone can say it makes sense to spend all this money on wages and training and whatnot on these senior NPF personnel and they are all dropped in one go . The system needs an overhaul and sadly, BAT cannot carry it out. He isn't the man to spur the change so desperately needed.

Its sad but it is what it is.

tishbite41:
Oh yes
That was his luck
It happened because of the pathological disdain and hatred you folks have for the Igbos
It got to the point that there was no DIG or AIG from the whole SE that a DCP had to be promoted twice in two years to make up for the shortfall
