The former inspector general of police, Suleiman Abba, has said he did his very best and delivered a credible and peaceful election to the country during the 2015 general elections.
Abba was sacked on Tuesday in a statement by the Presidency who said the sack was with immediate effect. He was replaced by Solomon Arase, the former DIG in charge of Force Intelligence.
Speaking on Wednesday in Abuja, Abba said, “I want to thank the Almighty God, for seeing me into the office of IGP; like He said, He gives and He takes and He is also seeing me out as the IGP, particularly, when it is in good health and with the ovation I’m getting from my colleagues.
“To my colleagues, I know you have seen it all.
We started at a time that was very difficult in Nigerian history, a time when politics had picked up. We were getting ready for the elections and our whole attention, I would say, was on the elections, even though we kept on doing our best in managing our day to day activities.
“My happiness is that we have gone through it; the elections are almost over. I want to seize this opportunity to thank everyone, all stakeholders with regards to the 2015 elections for making it not only a reality, but also making it credible.
“I want to say that I want to move on with my life believing that life has steps and it is a journey.”
