The departure of Ibrahim Kpotun Idris, from his position as the Inspector General of Police (IGP), on Tuesday was to many in the opposition, especially the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), like a nagging headache disappearing all of a sudden. The PDP had for this reason consistently warned against any extension of his tenure. When, President Buhari did not act as at January 3rd, the day that the former IGP’s tenure expired, the opposition was naturally apprehensive. Idris will also be remembered as that Police Officer, who had a penchant for framing innocent Nigerians with ridiculous allegations. With Idris gone, one of the PDP’s numerous demands concerning the coming election has ostensibly been granted.
