He has an impressive CV. Sadly, all that many "future leaders" here can see is his tribe. Tribalists calling others tribalist.

Oga IG, please try and restructure the Force for better service delivery and modern styled policing.

after reading this I am more than convinced that this qualified for the positionof the IG we as nigerians should pray that the almightyhelp him in curbing the various security challenges facing nigeria .

Government of the North by the North and for the North. This man have an agenda but people have failed to realize it that after his tenure Nigeria will forever remain with the North or the south will be flushed out. He is ready for war

ceeethru:
Totally I am against this appointment,we should not keep all the appointments to north is unhealthy to the nation,PMB should stop implementing northern agenda,I expect this appointment should come from south east,we should give equall opportunity to all the region.

He should give the position to d south east, y should he??, what if d south easterners at d helm of affairs there, can't work with him or vice versa??, because of u he should now give it to who he can't work with, just because he wants to please u guys........

The consolidation of power in the hands of the north is now complete with all the security forces now firmly in their grip and they also control the electoral body. They will rule you dumb southerners till eternity, they are also coming for the CBN governors job soon mark my words.

i just knew it was gon b a northerner

But like seriously is it only Norterner in this con3 call Nigeria?

designking:
Now we have a better IG who can deal with Fayose and other PDP rogues without fear or favor. The former couldn't because he was appointed by a PDP president.

ur yan just make fly full d whole room. U want I.G kpatako to be political then. Well i yam not suprise, na dia fellow aboniki baba appoint.

All you need to do is to include your own or make your own list instead of weeping. I insist that those on my list as at today, constitute the greatest nuisance to Nigeria both online and offline

He shld arrest all southerners for refusing to their oil n farmlands for grazing by notherners

Ahmedhussain3463:
pls consolidate and build upon where arase stop

Makzeze said go and hug transformer. Gone are the days when one fears tranformers, what we ve now re empty box of transformers. As for the new IG, i wish him well, but the fact remains that this is the govt of the North. The other side of the zombies has been put behind (o yes members).

May Almighty Allah make you successfull on your new rank sir. Welcome to the task.

See hw f*olish u sound... So any1 who oppose buhari shld be dealt with right, well this one party system u guys are prayin 4, it will happen in the north soon, cos ur buhari is dividing d country little by little.

handie:
Wailers! Ya'll will never change. Do u guys even realize that the inspector general of police is appointed by the president on the RECOMMENDATION of the police service commission? Should he refuse to follow the recommendations of the PSC just to satisfy some tribe? I know wailing is ya calling but biko try and apply sense in ur wailings

Read what you wrote again. The president is the C-in-C and has the final say on Police appointments as head of the executive arm of Govt. All the heads of the Paramilitary in the Ministry of Interior headed by the tribal bigot called Danbazau are from one section of the country viz Prisons, NSCDC, Immigration, Fire Service, Custom

Businessideas:

read it again.

If I am Buhari with all these senseless complaints about northern agenda, I'll never appoint a southerner, he has d power to appoint who ever he wants, what I dnt get is, if he appoints a southerner Pls how does it affect u n I..... Isn't it a southerner thts bin replaced, did d Edo man drop a cup of water on my table... Coincidentally I'm even from Edo state, same state with Arase......so how does it affect me who gets appointed, when Arase was appointed we never heard a northerner complain, wen Mike Okiro was appointed no northerner complained, buh we southerners complain about everything......

oga itk what about the circumstances surrounding the appointment of inec chairman

carammel:
From commissioner? or I didn't read well,what happened to DIGs and AIGs?

All the AIGs and DIGs will retire, thats the way it works as they will not be expected to give their far far junior complement as IG

SeverusSnape:
North again!, It was expected, the dullard is so predictable; Buhari is doing a great job of segregating the south.

Anyways, "Northerners are the most qualified and sincere set of people in Nigeria" according to Nairaland resident Zombies

It's pple like u dat spoil Nigeria,
The first thing u noticed is dat he's a Northern, so weather or not he's the most qualified or next in line doesn't mean sh*t to u

I think it's time we start seeing everyone from Nigeria as Nigerian, not Northerner, Southerner or what have you

Your thinking is shallow, wait until Fulani invades your community in Edo and then you will know the importance of who controls the security apparatus. When GEJ appointed Arase there was a balance in the security agencies from the interior ministry to the military. Compare it to now. Biafra agitators and Shiite Muslims are shot dead because they dont have their people giving the orders.

Niwdog:
oga itk what about the circumstances surrounding the appointment of inec chairman

Is this wailing about the appointment of d INEC chairman or the appointment of the IGP

Dpharisee:

I know that is what will happen sir,I'm only saying he should have picked from one of the DIGs or AIGs rather than a commissioner. anyways,that is his own luck.

designking:

Unfortunately, we do not have a place to quarantine people like you in Nigeria.

handie:

its about buhari ways of appointment.

Biko don't quote me again.
I no like to they press button

Middle belt man is appointed IGP, the new trend is Northernization. No middle belt again. Nna eh

nice resume............baba so on point

What more evidence do you people need to see that this president is a bigot pursuing a Northern agenda? When he appoints a northerner who is next in line you people will defend him saying he appointed the next in line, but when he skips all the DIG and AIG to appoint a commissioner of police or when he went outside the customs service to appoint a retired army officer you people will say it's based on merit. Enjoy the slavery you people have bought with your own hands.
