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.
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

The choice of who heads security agencies is one of the special prerogatives of the president and he just exercise that privilege.

You are free to go to court if you are aggrieved and stop typing rubbish on social media.

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.undecided
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.

Frank Mba deserved the position though.

And this is not tribal, I am Yoruba.

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 👮
Re: DIGs Likely To Retire After Tunji Disu’s Appointment by johnmartus(m): 8:47am On Feb 25

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.
He is back home somewhere in the north on a low key, having been released from kuje prison on bail abt 2yrs ago. I think he is still on court cases

To all those who are feeling sorry for Mba what makes you think his tenure would have been better?

29 DIG's oh. That's what I heard

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…
Re: DIGs Likely To Retire After Tunji Disu’s Appointment by Babanah: 11:32am On Feb 25
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this policy. The whole process is “Darwinian”, if you are unlucky enough not to be selected for the top position, then no other opportunity is left. The next move is retirement.
Re: DIGs Likely To Retire After Tunji Disu’s Appointment by Nasman387(m): 11:56am On Feb 25
Happy retirement to them all

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.
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

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?

I think Tinubu strategy is to appoint those he could easily fire if they do not perform. One of the reasons the country has failed to make progress is we keep appointing people based on geopolitical zone. To do this the president sometimes has to rely on the suggestion of political associates from other geopolitical zones. If this person then fails to perform, it becomes difficult to fire him in order not offend anyone. After all he representing his geopolitical zone and not necessarily to perform.
Tinubu is our first foreign educated President and you can see that in his thinking. He thinks logically and as they say logic removes most of life’s errors. He relies on logic and ignores illogical arguments.

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? undecided 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. undecided

Its sad but it is what it is.

because its not my merit but favoritism. And it weakens professionalism, experience and knowledge transfer.
Re: DIGs Likely To Retire After Tunji Disu’s Appointment by SuperEagles: 2:20pm On Feb 25
Daily lamentation of foolishness. Those IG appointed previously were not on sentiment n no senior ranking officer were sacked right ?!

Remember Obasanjo started this, do you remember the batallion of military person he retired to have his own military chiefs ?!

Keep deluding yourself over tribal sentiment. Thank God, Tinubu na man e no send una. As he as appointed this one na only wailing n more wailing be your refuge..


owobokiri:
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..
Re: DIGs Likely To Retire After Tunji Disu’s Appointment by SuperEagles: 2:25pm On Feb 25
If you like come from jupiter, Mbah deserves only his retirement like every other senior ranking officer overlooked for the position.

Frank Mba deserved the position though.

And this is not tribal, I am Yoruba.
Re: DIGs Likely To Retire After Tunji Disu’s Appointment by SuperEagles: 2:27pm On Feb 25
Exactly, n it as been weakening the police force since 1999 without your likes wailing senseless about it so shut your senseless wail up now as well.
