A
former Inspector General of Police, Mike Okiro, has been appointed as the head
of police service commission.
President
Goodluck Jonathan has nominated former police chief, Mike Okiro, as the head of
the Police
Service Commission, in a string of new appointments sent in for
senate approval on Wednesday.
The
president also asked the lawmakers to approve the nomination of former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, previously an estranged member of
the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, as the new Chairman of the Board of
the Infrastructure Concession Regulatory Commission.
Mr.
Nnamani, who got suspended from his party after leading an attempt at reforming
the ruling party, is to lead Aminu Dikko (the commission’s director general),
Comfort Saro Wiwa, Janet Adeyemi, Yabawa Wabi, Musa Elayo, and A.U. Kanu on the
Infrastructure board.
Mr.
Nnamani was suspended by the party for his reform efforts ahead of the 2011
elections. At the time, the former senate president lent support to the
presidential ambition of former military ruler, Ibrahim Babangida, appearing at Mr.
Babangida’s limited public speeches, where the former leader sought to clinch
the party’s presidential nomination ahead of Mr. Jonathan.
Since the
events, Mr. Nnamani has kept a low profile, until recently when he was
considered amongst the top contenders for the chairmanship of the PDP’s Board
of Trustees.
His
appointment, which awaits the senate’s confirmation, might mean that the former
lawmaker, who also led the effort that denied former president, Olusegun
Obasanjo, a third term, may have mended ways with Mr. Jonathan’s
administration.
Okiro’s
appointment
The
president also appointed Mr. Okiro as chairman of the police service
commission, ahead of Otive Igbuzor. Mr. Igbuzor has been nominated again
as member of the commission.
Other
members of the police commission include Yakubu Mohammed, Olufunke Adekeye,
Aisha Tukur, Comfort Obi, Tonrgee Toranyiin.
Mr.
Jonathan has also dropped Adesojo Olaoba-Efuntayo as the proposed secretary of
the board of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
The
president had submitted Mr. Olaoba-Efuntayo’s name to the Senate for
confirmation last month.
The new
nominee is Emmanuel Adegboyega Aremo
