‘After All The Gra Gra, Retirement Finally Came’ – Dele Momodu, Others Mock IGP Idris

Reactions have started trailing the soon-to-be-announced retirement of Mr Ibrahim Idris as Inspector-General of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

Reports emerged on Monday night that President Muhammadu Buhari would any moment from now announce a replacement for IGP Idris following his supposed retirement from the Force on January 3rd.

The police boss, it was learnt, would be replaced by Assistant Inspector General of Police, Mr Abubakar Adamu Mohammed, an indigene of Nasarawa state and former AIG in charge of zone 5.

Among notable early reactions to Mr Idris’s retirement is one from the publisher of Ovation International Magazine, Mr Dele Momodu.

Momodu described Idris as a “troublesome” and “overzealousness” police chief who chose service to “his masters” above his service to the nation.

The publisher tweeted, ” Wow, whatever has a beginning must have an end… So, after all the gra gra of our troublesome Inspector General of Police, and the overzealousness to please his masters instead of his country, retirement eventually came… Goodbye Mr Ibrahim Idris…”

Some other Twitter reactions read:

@AyeeshaMusa1, “This is Ibrahim Idris, the Kano state Police Commissioner who helped @MBuhari pull 2m votes in 2015. He skyrocketed to the post of IGP by March 2016, overtaking over 12 of his senior CP’s, 22 AIG’s & 7 DIG’s. He was rewarded for rigging well done.
He’s in the first 11 of APC FC.”

@effalixumab, “Ibrahin Magu, Is The Worst EFCC Chairman Ever. IGP Ibrahim Idris, Is The Worst IGP Ever. Minister Of Education, Adamu Adamu, Is The Worst Minister Of Education Ever. FCT Minister, Musa Bello, Is The Worst FCT Minister Ever. Worst Cabinet Ever. Everything Gets Worst Under Buhari.”
