Police Replies Rtd Major General Wahab, “IGP Is In Firm Control”

Published

on

 

The Nigerian Police  has Replied Rtd Major General Wahab over his statement during a live show on channels Television.  The Adamu led police force reiterated that Wahab’s position was clearly wrong and that he spoke on issues outside his area of core competence.

 

 

In a statement made available to Sahara Weekly NG, the police spokesman, DCP Frank Mba stated that:

The attention of the Nigeria Police Force has been drawn to comments and reactions during an interview session on Channels TV Sunrise Daily program of 13th November, 2020 where one Major General Garba Wahab (rtd) commented that “…rather than improving the improvement (sic) …the IGP is sitting down there with all the paraphernalia of office deprived of actually having control of police… he is not in control”.

 

 

The Force wishes to categorically state that the Rtd Major General is wrong in his assertion as IGP Adamu is firmly in control of the administration and operation of the Nigeria Police Force.

It notes that the comments by Rtd Major General Garba Wahab shows that he spoke purely out of ignorance and from a jackboot mentality that lacks proper understanding of democratic policing culture, rooted in the Rule of Law. It reiterates that the retired Officer clearly spoke on a subject outside his areas of core competence.

It is noteworthy that since his assumption of office as the 20th indigenous Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, NPM, mni, a global policing icon, has in the past twenty-three months of his leadership of the Force, shown sterling qualities in what the operational/administrative command and control of the Force should be.

This is exemplified in the various reform policies being implemented to reposition the Force for greater efficiency, uphold the rule of law in policing actions and drive a citizen-centred policing approach. It is to the credit of his robust leadership style that even in the face of the recent violence occasioned by the ENDSARS protest and provocative attacks on Police personnel and assets, the officers under his command exercised maximum restraint and stayed calm, professional and committed to maintaining law and order in the country.

The Force therefore enjoins the general public and privileged opinion moulders not to allow sentiments becloud their sense of judgment but to use opportunities of national platforms to offer constructive criticisms and advocate opinions that will help in improving governance generally and policing in particular in the country. Major General Garba Wahab (rtd) will do well to fact-check his assumptions before going public.

The Leader Is A Fighter Case Study Of Olalekan Bakare Oki, General Manager Lagos State Management Authority LASTMA.
~By Oluwaseun Fabiyi

 

 

Bakare Oki in Nigeria’s traffic management authority especially in Lagos State. He exemplifies rare commitment knowledge and exceptional skill with a diverse education background.

My courtesy visit to his reputable office on Friday 13th September 2024 we discussed at length an this got my memory back to this old saying that “a thousand wishes won’t fill a bucket with fishes”

Now get a seat and read little that I learnt from this proactive rare man. From our discussion that lasted almost one hour, I gathered he’s a man that will never give up easily because he understood himself, he always believe that all things will work out for him as long as he hang on until the end, real reason he remain a courageous man a undismayed even in the face of odds, is a man that will never permit anyone to intimidate or deter him from achieving his set goals. I observed from our gist, whenever this gentleman is at the warfronts and facing indiscipline during horrible traffic management within Lagos metropolis he’s always determined never to surrender to discouragement or despair no matter what seeming obstacles may confront him and his team.

Bakare Oki is an exceptional leadership who has faced criticism, fatigue and instead of him to be loneliness, he would rather chose to identifying with people making unpleasant decisions, false pride and jealousy I see all these to makes him trailblazing in all ramifications. Oki’s qualities and personal behaviors has obtain deficiencies and skills such as a pleasant personality, his neat appearance, his mining smile and a warm handshake are second to none.

Bakare a trailblazer and why he would continue to remain stackability is because he doesn’t permit or allow the fear of ridicule from others or the fear of defeat to overwhelmed him even as others may consider themselves presumptuous.
In conclusion and my take home from this energetic resourceful dude is what I tagged “He’s a giver, and not a getter” above all an integrity man that would deliver his duty diligently without obtaining ‘bribe’.
Guess what? Even in my presence a pretty young woman fair in complexion brought a critical, deadly case before him lo and behold, Oki took a wonderful, brilliant decision to clarified the issue by boiling the issue down to it’s simplest form. I therefore concluded with him as most wise and knowledgeable leader have ever met.
