The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) yesterday said that the tenure of the Police Inspector-General Ibrahim Idris should not be extended.
The party, which claimed that the police boss is expected to retire in January next year, said he deserves a blissful retirement after January.
Its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said PDP does not trust the Inspector-General because the police have been biased towards the opposition under his tenure.
He said the police deserves a new IGP who will be politically neutral instead of dancing to the tune of the Federal Government.
Ologbondiyan said PDP has bows the fear that Idris will not be far to the main opposition party during next year’s polls.
He spoke with reporters in Lagos on the preparations for the polls.
Ologbondiyan said the police has taken sides in some partisan issues in many neutrality and capacity for fairness.
He added: “We know that the tenure of the IGP expires in January, next year. We don’t want the government to extend his tenure. We want neutrality during the election.”
Ologbondiyan, who acknowledged that President Buhari has mandated Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to represent him at the presidential debate, said the PDP candidate, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, is ready for the live debate.
