I asked this question because I see many Nigerians defending the blunder made by the IG of Police.

There are positions that shouldn't be given to anyone who isn't qualified for it. For instance, can Buhari make someone his chief pilot because he/she delivered votes for him knowing fully well that there're other people far more qualified? No.

Or could the president have sent his son to a private hospital of his tribal man for surgery knowing fully well that there are far more qualified doctors?

Why then did he appoint Idris whom clearly isn't qualified for the position?

If IG Idris couldn't read what his press secretary wrote on the paper.... A press statement which should have been written in line with what he intended to say at the event, how then can we trust him to do more tasking Jobs and decisions for the nation?

Instead of laughing about this, or defending him, it should serve as a wake up call for all of us. We deserve better. Way better.

Go get your PVC � I've got mine. Let's take a stand and change this things for better. The generation before us have failed. Would we fold our hands too?

This piece can't change nothing but I pray it sparks the fire for Change.

The nation’s Inspector General of Police, Idris Ibrahim seems to have risen above the law of the land and control of the president who appointed him. This is as extremely worrisome as it is setting a terrible precedence in the country.

What is particularly curious about the recent actions of the Inspector General of Police is the temerity with which he had repeatedly called the bluff of the Senate institution and disobeyed orders given to him by President Muhammadu Buhari.

It must be agreed that the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris would not have ordinarily behaved this way if not for some hidden reasons that are perhaps not known to the public. But one thing that is incontrovertible is the fact that the police boss has been compensated with the position of Inspector General.

It can also be concluded that the same hidden reason that is responsible for the now seeming “above the law” disposition of the Police IG must have also informed his appointment in the first instance.

Meanwhile, record has it that Ibrahim Idris was in 2015 the Police Commissioner in charge of Kano state when he superintended the delivery of millions of votes to the APC.

He was still the same police boss in-charge of Kano state when the INEC Commissioner for the state was burnt to death with his wife and two children in a rather unexplainable circumstance. It will be recalled that President Buhari garnered nearly two million votes in the most populous northern state during the 2015 presidential election.

Meanwhile, curious but disturbing questions need to be asked on the circumstances surrounding the appointment of Ibrahim Idris as the IGP in the first instance.

What could have led to the to compulsorily retirement of 21 AIGs and 7 DIGs just for Ibrahim Idris to become the IGP ? What other factor could have been responsible for the unprecedented promotions given to Ibrahim Idris from the rank of Commissioner of Police in 2015 to Assistant Inspector General, to Deputy Inspector General and Inspector General of Police all from year 2015 to 2016?

We also need to know what could have made the IGP disobeyed the instruction of the president without any consequence till date ?

Another probing question is what was the good quality seen in Ibrahim Idris by President Buhari at the time of his appointment that was not found in any of his compulsorily retired 28 seniors? We need not be told that Idris had been merely compensated for his hatchet job in the 2015 presidential election held in Kano and the subsequent cover-up in the investigation of circumstances leading to and surrounding the death of the INEC Commissioner.

It is most regrettable that Ibrahim Idris has now constituted himself into an authority that cannot be questioned; as a result has become so emboldened to have conveniently disobeyed several Senate invitations. It is particularly very sad that the man even feels at ease in the face of mindless bloodletting across the country.

However, no sinner can hide behind one finger for too long. The dirty past of the IGP has been exposed and the earlier he is relieved of his position, the faster solutions could be found to the reign of impunity and ceaseless killings across the land. Time is now for President Buhari to remove the IGP from office and safe the nation from further gruesome killings and maiming.

Yarimo ya Azumi yau?

MONITZ:
It was Jonathan who appointed Emefiele and not Bubu.We shouldn't castigate someone just because we don't like the person Bt we should do so with facts and not fictions...

gidgiddy:
Not true.

In the event of of nobody winning two thirds of state, the two highest scoring candidates will go for a second round of voting

gidgiddy:
Maybe true but Buhari needs to win 2 thirds majority in 2 thirds of the 36 states plus the FCT. So even if Buhari gets 200 million votes from Kano and Lagos but does not carry enough states, he will lose

Elder001:
fixed..

kingkakaone:
They only have plans to win, no plan for governance.

That is how Nigerian politicians are; win and loot, nothing else.
I'm talking about APC/PDP.

I would have thought nairaland should be making way more than that. How do I contact the owner though?

Buratai Should come to Borno and travel to all local Governments here by Road

Deprofessional:
Since the inception of this administration in 2015, Nigeria has been plunged into one shameful act or another.

I am most pained by the inability of the morons that voted this administration into power, to comprehend that a leopard

cannot shade its spots.

We warned them but they never listened. The told us that even if the current president presents a NEPA bill, they will go ahead to vote him.

Today, we are all witnesses to the shameful display of a whole IGP of a nation. A masters degree holder for that matter.

Birds of the same feather move together. It will take a slowpoke to appoint a slowpoke.

I urge the youths to go get your pvc and prove to these clueless fellows in governments that enough is enough.
