IGP: Buhari ‘worshipping goddess’ – HURIWA reacts as Buhari names Adamu new Police boss
Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has reacted to the appointment of
Mohammed Adamu as the new Acting Inspector General of Police, IGP.
HURIWA claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari, by appointing Adamu,
who hails from the North, was "worshipping the goddess of nepotism and
favouritism".
Buhari had yesterday named Adamu the new IGP, following the retirement
of Ibrahim Idris from the position after he clocked 60 years.
However, in a statement forwarded to us, by its National Coordinator,
Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, HURIWA insisted that Buhari's decision of
appointing Northern Muslims as security heads smacked nepotism and
favouritism which was unconstitutional.
The body, however, urged the new police boss to ensure he reformed the
image of the Force because Nigerians have lost faith on them.
HURIWA admonished Adamu to adopt a one-point agenda of turning around
the corrupt police Force into an effective and professional policing
institution.
The statement reads: "The exit from police force of the immediate past
Inspector General of Police Alhaji Ibrahim Kpodum Idriss is a good
riddance to bad rubbish and perhaps the finest opportunity for the
emerging hierarchy of the Nigerian Policing Institution to have a
rebirth and change the tragic comedy that epolicing became under the
last leadership which lasted three years from 2015 to January 15th
2019.
"We ask the incoming IGP to sack the spokesman of Force headquarters
Mr. Jimoh the rapidly promoted Assistant commissioner of police picked
by Idriss Kpodum ibrahim for bringing public odium to the media and
public image of the Nigeria Police force. The Force PRO under the past
IGP is everything but professional because that office elevated double
speak and falsehood to a religion in the Nigeria Police force."
HURIWA also charged the new acting Inspector General of police Alhaji
Abubakar Adamu "to hit the ground running by first and foremost
changing the public relations dynamics of the Nigerian policing
institution from the global notoriety it garnered for itself as a
lying policing force to become a people's friendly police that will
focus on comprehensively enforcing the laws effectively, efficiently
and professionally in absolute loyalty to the Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria of 1999 (as amended) and to change the
face of the police from a highly compromised agency that carries out
politically motivated hatchet jobs for the highest bidders and the
political party in power and become a truly Nigeria Police Force that
will serve Nigerians creditably."
"The police in Nigeria has become the most untrustworthy institution
in Nigeria and swims in the illegality of bribery and corruption. NPF
now stinks of impunity and crass indis indiscipline.
"We wish to recommend to the new IGP to adopt a 1 point agenda which
will revolve around turning the currently corrupt and politically
compromised Nigeria Police to a Professionally effective and efficient
Policing institution that will be administered in absolute compliance
with the Rule of law and in total obedience to the Nigerian
Constitution and all relevant law enforcement statutes.
"We also condemn President Muhammadu Buhari's aversion for appointment
of non Muslims into strategic internal security posts."
HURIWA stated that the "concentration of all internal security
appointments in the hands of Northern Moslems is unconstitutional and
a shameful worship of the goddess of nepotism and favouritism by
President Muhammadu Buhari."
