The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu at the weekend pledged that the police would be professional and neutral in the conduct of the November 16 governorship elections in Kogi and Bayalsa states.
He stated this in Lafia, Nasarawa state at an event held in his honour by the Lafia Progressive Forum.
Adamu said that the police would draw from its experiences garnered from the 2019 general elections to ensure free, fear and credible elections in the two states.
According to him, the police will give the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the necessary support to ensure that a level playing field is provided for all political parties, reiterating that the police under his leadership would continue to do everything possible to combat criminality in all parts of the country.
The inspector general further expressed gratitude to the people of Lafia for honouring him and promised not to disappoint them.
“There is nothing good than for one to be celebrated by his people at home. I will continue to be a good ambassador of my community by discharging my duties with sincerity and the fear of God,” Adamu added.
In his address, Governor Abdullahi Sule of Nasarawa state said the state is proud of Adamu and his achievements since his assumption of duty as the inspector general.
The governor also commended him for his efforts at instilling professionalism into the force and promoting the welfare of personnel.
