CP IBRAHIM GOTAN IS PERFORMING: ENN BACKS PROFESSIONAL POLICING IN OSUN STATE

Adejumo Michael, Osogbo.

The Egalitarians Network Nigeria (ENN) has observed with keen interest the various agitations and campaigns from certain quarters seeking the transfer of the Commissioner of Police, Osun State Command, CP Ibrahim Gotan. We wish to state unequivocally that the current Commissioner of Police is performing his constitutional responsibilities with professionalism, impartiality and dedication to the maintenance of peace and security in Osun State.

Since assuming office, CP Ibrahim Gotan has demonstrated uncommon commitment to the protection of lives and property, ensuring that the rule of law prevails without fear or favour. His approach to policing has strengthened public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force and enhanced security across the state.

It is, therefore, not surprising that some individuals and groups who are uncomfortable with his firm adherence to professionalism and his refusal to compromise established procedures are feeling the heat of his uncompromising commitment to justice and due process. Such persons, rather than adjust to lawful conduct, have resorted to calls for his removal from Osun State.

The Egalitarians Network Nigeria considers these calls unnecessary and capable of undermining the morale of security agencies. No officer should be victimized for carrying out his lawful duties diligently and without bias.

As political activities continue to gather momentum ahead of future elections, ENN wishes to advise politicians and their supporters, irrespective of party affiliation, to conduct themselves peacefully and within the confines of the law. The law is no respecter of anybody, and no individual or political party is above the law.

We call on all stakeholders to support the Commissioner of Police and other security agencies in their efforts to sustain peace and order in Osun State. Democracy can only thrive in an atmosphere of peace, fairness and respect for the rule of law.

The Egalitarians Network Nigeria remains committed to the promotion of justice, equity, peace and good governance, and will continue to support every lawful effort aimed at preserving security and stability in Osun State and Nigeria as a whole.
