The new Ekiti State Police Commissioner, Abdullahi Ibrahim Chafe, on Tuesday declared that he is not in the state to fight the state governor, Ayodele Fayose.
The new commissioner made the remark in response to fear that the Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, transferred his predecessor, Wilson Inalegwu without the knowledge of Fayose, just to intimidate the governor ahead of the 2018 gubernatorial election in the state.
Addressing Reporters in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital, Chafe disclosed that his mission in Ekiti was to sanitise the state by flushing out criminals and make it a safe haven for investors.
According to him, “I am not under any instruction to come here to fight anybody. Even when I was transferred, I did not even know that Ekiti election is coming soon. It was when I got here that I knew that election is coming here soon.
“I value my profession and personality above any other thing. Even if you check all the elections that had been conducted recently,
“I am a Nigerian and wherever I go to, I see myself as part of that community and I can’t come here to cause trouble. I have worked in all the six geopolitical zones of the country and I have good records.
“I am old enough to form my own principles and these principles will surely guide me in the discharge of my duties.”
