The Companion has expressed excitement over the elevation of Tunji Disu to the position of the Acting Inspector General of Police, IGP, by President Bola Tinubu.
The group, in a statement by its Amir, Imam Nojim Jimoh, described the elevation as well-deserved.
“For those of us who have followed his trajectory since he enlisted in the Nigeria Police Force in 1992, this appointment manifests a resounding endorsement of over three decades of unwavering commitment to professionalism, discipline, and the rule of law.
“The numerous public testimonies celebrating Disu’s professional excellence are a testament to a deeper narrative. The Companion notes with pride that his exemplary conduct is rooted in the thorough Islamic upbringing provided by the parents renowned for their steadfast commitment to the Deen of Islam,” the statement reads in part.
The group stated that Disu’s career served as a shining example of how foundational values of honesty, justice, and service to humanity could translate into exceptional public leadership.
While The Companion celebrated the president’s recognition of Disu’s merits, it remind the new Acting IGP of the weight of the responsibility attached to the new post.
“As he steps into this role, we urge him to remain conscious of being representative of the ‘best of mankind’ by enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong.
“In particular, the organisation wishes to register the fact that Nigeria as the most populous black nation deserves a policing legacy that is efficient, empathetic, and technologically advanced,” the group said.
It added that “With daunting tasks on the horizon including the general elections as well as internal security complexities, our prayer is that Disu’s leadership will be the compass that guides the nation toward stability.
“Allah (SWT) shall provide him with His inimitable guidance and protection. We equally pray that he triumphs over every challenge and that his tenure is marked by unprecedented peace and security for all Nigerians.”
