The seven police chiefs’ departure was in furtherance of the convention that recommends the retirement of senior police chiefs when an officer junior to them in service or lower in rank is appointed to lead the institution.

Atiku - It is unconstitutional, if I win will not retire any police officer.

FFK - Buhari is a tyrant

Been Bruce - Our democracy is in danger, The present administration should allow all officers to retire when ever they wish to.

Ohanaeze - We can't take this anymore, how can buhari retire the only Igbo man with nothern name. We are marginalized, no complete Igbo man in that list

Saraki - The Senate will reconvene to impeach the police IG, and buhari
