Nigeria Police Denies IGP Tenure Extension Claims
The Nigeria Police Force has addressed recent speculations regarding the tenure of Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun, clarifying that President Bola Tinubu did not extend his tenure as some reports have suggested.
In a statement released on Friday in Abuja, Force Public Relations Officer Muyiwa Adejobi clarified that the President’s action was not an extension but rather a confirmation of the IGP’s tenure in line with legal provisions.
According to Adejobi, President Tinubu approved the IGP’s appointment for a standard four-year term as stipulated by law.
The statement refuted misinformation circulating on social media and in news reports, emphasizing that the IGP’s appointment, which was confirmed by the Police Council, was not extended beyond its legal duration.
The official appointment letter, dated November 3, 2023, confirms that President Tinubu’s approval aligns with the Constitutional provisions outlined in Section 215(a) and Section 28(c) of the Third Schedule of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
Adejobi further stressed that there is no need for the IGP to seek an extension of tenure, as his appointment already guarantees a four-year term from the date of his official confirmation.
He condemned the spread of false information as the work of detractors and mischief-makers aiming to undermine the office of the IGP and mislead the public for personal or financial motives.
The statement concluded by urging the public and media to rely on accurate and official sources of information, reinforcing the integrity and legal framework governing the tenure of the IGP.

‘Government Prioritizes Money More’ — PDP Calls Out FG On New Tax Law
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
