President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has charged the Nigeria Police Force to maintain the highest standards of professionalism and impartiality ahead of the 2027 General Elections, stressing that the Police must never be seen as an instrument of any political interest. The President gave the charge at the 2026 Conference and Retreat for Senior Police Officers in Owerri, Imo State, in an address delivered on his behalf by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume. In a statement by the spokesman of the SGF, Yomi Odunuga, President Tinubu said every Nigerian, irrespective of political affiliation, ethnicity, religion, social status or geographical location, must feel protected by the Police. He noted that the neutrality and professionalism of the Force are fundamental to public confidence and the credibility of the nation's democracy.
