President Muhammadu Buhari has charged officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force to chart a viable operational plan that would guarantee a credible outcome of the 2023 general election in the country. The President who seized the occasion to recommit to free and fair elections next year, also emphasized the need for the rank and file of the Police Force to remain apolitical, firm, and loyal to the nation’s democratic values, because it was then that Nigerians could elect their choice leaders.
Speaking while declaring open a three-day Conference and Retreat for Senior Police Officers in Owerri, the Imo State capital, on Monday the president directed the Police to review the current and evolving internal security threats, which might impact on peaceful and successful elections. Assuring the police force of his administration’s total support and encouragement in the build-up to the 2023 polls, president Buhari expressed delight that the reforms undertaken under his watch were paying off with members of the force demonstrating high professional, ethical and operational standards, reflected in performances in internal security operations.
