The Northern Youth Association of Nigeria (NYAN) Tuesday, passed a vote of confidence on the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun and asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to disregard any call for the sack of the IGP.
Speaking to journalists in Bauchi, the president of the group, Comrade Godiya T Adams, urged the IGP to remain focused on giving Nigerians the best police/citizens relationship so that those calling for his sack might not tarnish his hard reputation as a police chief of impeccable antecedents.
“Our attention has in recent days been drawn to news making the rounds of a group of unpatriotic and disgruntled individuals asking President Tinubu to sack the IGP. Here, we want to state without equivocation, fear or favour, that such actions is not only malicious but selfish and self centered and we are hereby calling on our father, the President and Commander in Chief to disregard such action and to call such individuals to order as their actions undermines the effort of the IGP to bring the Nigerian Police to global reckoning.
“We are very much aware of the irregularities and corruptions perpetrated by these elements of retrogressive character in the conduct of the recruitment processes of citizens into the Nigerian Police in which the IGP rejected such fouled processes. As Nigerians, we want to assure the IGP that we are solidly behind him on this as things must be done in the proper way.”
