ABUJA/Nigeria: Senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District, Senator Ede Dafinone, has congratulated Mr. Tunji Disu on his appointment as Acting Inspector-General of Police by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, describing the elevation as a reflection of his professionalism, dedication, and longstanding commitment to service within the Nigeria Police Force.
In a statement issued on Thursday, the lawmaker noted that Disu’s rise through the ranks of the police was marked by discipline, courage, and exemplary leadership, qualities he said have earned him national confidence and positioned him for the critical responsibility of leading the force at a challenging time.
Dafinone commended the Acting IGP’s track record, highlighting his competence, integrity, and understanding of the evolving dynamics of modern policing, which he said would be crucial in steering the institution toward improved effectiveness.
“As you assume this important office, I urge you to deploy your vast experience and expertise toward addressing the pressing insecurity challenges confronting our country,” the senator stated.
He expressed optimism that Disu’s leadership would strengthen ongoing efforts to tackle kidnapping for ransom, banditry, and the persistent conflicts between farmers and herders, which continue to threaten lives, livelihoods, and national stability.
The senator further conveyed his best wishes for a successful tenure, assuring the new police chief of his support in efforts aimed at enhancing public safety, restoring confidence in policing, and advancing peace and security across Nigeria.
Dafinone’s message comes amid heightened national expectations for renewed strategies to confront insecurity and deepen institutional reforms within the nation’s policing system.
