Permit me to use this medium on behalf of the good people of Kabba-Bunu/Ijumu Federal Constituency congratulate our very own CP Idowu Owohunwa, on his well deserved recommendation; to the Police Service Commission (PSC), for posting and appointment as the Commissioner of Police for Lagos state by the Inspector-General of Police; Alkali Baba.
Indeed, given your enviable and worthy contributions; in different capacities, to the numerous achievements of past and present chief executives of the Nigerian Police, as well as the foremost law enforcement institution, one is confident that the Police Service Commission (PSC), will grant express approval and confirmation of your appointment as the Numero Uno police chief of Lagos state; the nation’s commercial capital.
Also, having followed with keen interest your steady career progression in the Nigerian Police, one can confidently declare that your appointment and deployment to the aquatic state as Commissioner of Police is not only timely but honour most deserving.
Over the years, at every command appointment and operational posting within the Nigerian Police, you always exhibit unusual commitment, uncommon fervour and unflinching passion in the realization of set objectives, mandates and the vision of the institution. In all of these, you always deploy the very unique attributes; hard work, objectivity, dynamism, contentment, of a well brought up Owe and Okun person.
No doubt, this professional lift is further recognition and institutional endorsement of your distinguished service to the Nigerian Police and our dear country. Happily, by this appointment, you have joined the exclusive list of officers who had the privilege, at different times, of being Head(s) of Lagos state Police Command. More instructive is the undeniable fact that you have emerged as the very first officer from Kabba-Bunu/ Ijumu Federal Constituency, Okun Nation, Kogi West Senatorial District and indeed Kogi state to be posted to Lagos state as Commissioner of Police. This, amongst other reasons, is the measure of trust and believe that the police hierarchy have in you as a time-tested professional and serially-proven crime buster.
As we all join you, your family members, colleagues, friends and associates in savouring the joy, blessings and euphoria of this landmark career progression, I pray that God Almighty shall endow you with divine wisdom, knowledge, understanding, sound mind, renewed strength and perfect health to excel in your new position and posting. Above all, I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ shall accelerate your elevation to the zenith of your career; emerging the Inspector-General of Police, Amen.
Congratulations once again, Sir!
