‘Include our Sons, Daughters’-Ibadan Group Appeals to Tinubu for Appointment in Police Service Commission
The Ibadan Compound Peace Initiative (ICPI) on Wednesday appealed to President Tinubu to consider indigenes of Ibadan, in Oyo State as Commissioner into Police Service Commission (PSC).
The Group, which includes Monarchs, Chiefs, Mogajis, and prominent indigenes of Ibadanland said Ibadan has suitable, qualified, and capable personalities who are fit for the post.
A statement jointly signed by ICPI chairman, Barr. Chief Niyi Ajewole, President, Association of Ibadan Mogaji’s, Mogaji Asimiyu Ariori and ICPI Coordinator, Mogaji Nurudeen Akinade stated that Ibadan deserves a slot out of four PSC Commissioners slots, saying Ibadan has many reputable retired Justices who will perform excellently in the position if appointed.
According to the statement, Oyo State gave President Bola Ahmed Tinubu highest number of votes during the last Presidential election, which Ibadan has over 60 percent of the total votes from the state, hence, the need for Tinubu to repay Ibadan back with the gesture.
The statement read, “Firstly, we want to thank our amiable President Tinubu for appointing Bayo Adelabu as Minister, we are like Oliver twist, we request for more inclusion in your government sir, some states have between two to three Ministers, but Oyo state only has one, we urged you to consider Ibadan for one of the slots for this PSC Commissioners appointment.”
“We appeal to President Tinubu to include our sons/daughters into this PSC Commissioners appointment, we will be glad if this our humble request is granted.”
It, however, reiterated the committment and support of the Ibadan people towards the actualisation of Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda for Nigeria.
