    IGP Egbetokun Did Not Lobby For Tenure Extension – Police Clarify

    Force spokesperson Muyiwa Adejobi has denied reports that the current Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, is lobbying for his tenure to be extended for another four years.

    In a statement issued late on Friday, Adejobi stated that the IGP’s tenure will only last for four years.

    According to Adejobi, the IGP does not need to lobby for any tenure extension as he has yet to use the years stated in his. appointment letter.
    “The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to various misleading reports and misinterpretations concerning the tenure of the Inspector General of Police, and wishes to categorically state that what President Bola Tinubu approved for the IGP is not an extension of tenure, but rather the proper application of the law governing the tenure of the office of the IGP,” the statement read.

    “Contrary to the misinformation being circulated on social media and in the news, an appointment letter in circulation was issued to the IGP shortly after his appointment was confirmed by the Police Council.

    “This letter, dated 3rd November 2023, clearly stated that the President had approved a four-year tenure for the IGP in accordance with the provisions of Section 215(a) and Section 28(c) of the Third Schedule of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended).”

    “It is important to emphasize that the IGP does not need to lobby for any tenure extension as his appointment letter explicitly grants him a four-year tenure from the date of his appointment. The ongoing circulation of false information is the handiwork of pessimists and mischief makers who are determined to spread baseless narratives against the office and the personality of the IGP for obvious reasons and pecuniary gains,” he added.
