Usman Baba Alkali, Nigeria’s immediate past Inspector General of Police (IGP), is back in the limelight and not for police matters this time. A recent image circulating on social media platforms depicts Alkali in what seems like a campaign trail, vying for a senatorial seat in one of Yobe’s districts. The move, unsurprisingly, has stirred up a hive of reactions from Nigerian Twitter users. CONTINUE READING
Recall that Alkali’s tenure as the IGP was rife with controversies. The crescendo reached its peak when calls for his resignation became widespread, predominantly due to age-related constraints that many believed made him ineligible to retain the IGP position. Following these events, President Tinubu replaced him with Egbetekun.
The context behind his new political aspiration is interesting. Reports suggest that the current senator representing that Yobe district is stepping down to accept a ministerial role, paving the way for potential successors like Alkali. CONTINUE READING
This development has sparked diverse reactions on Twitter. While some users commend his tenacity and the ability to reinvent himself, others express concerns, referencing the controversies that surrounded his tenure as IGP. The unfolding scenario promises to keep netizens hooked for days, as more reactions continue to pour in.
