The Police Service Commission (PSC) has appointed Moshood Jimoh as the new Commissioner of Police for the Lagos State Command.
This was announced in a statement on Monday by the PSC’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani.
Before this appointment, Mr Jimoh served as the Commissioner of Police at the Ports Authority for the Eastern Ports.
Mr Ani further noted that Mr Jimoh, who hails from Kwara, previously held one party to another were driven by “stomach infrastructure”.
In a statement on Monday, the senator’s media team said Morka’s statement is an attempt by the ruling party to silence opposition voices and divert public attention from the deepening crises in the country.
“Rather than addressing the pressing issues of economic hardship, insecurity, and governance failure, the APC resorts to cheap propaganda and personal attacks — a tactic that underscores its desperation and failure of leadership,” the statement reads.
“As an experienced statesman, he has witnessed the APC’s increasing use of coercion, enticement, and intimidation to weaken the opposition and pave the way for one-party authoritarian rule.
“His warning serves as a wake-up call for all Nigerians to reject opportunistic politics and prioritise leadership defined by integrity, principle, and vision.
“The APC’s attempt to frame recent defections as a result of President Tinubu’s so-called economic reforms is both misleading and insulting to Nigerians who continue to endure unprecedented hardship.
“The reality under this administration is grim. Inflation has soared, pushing the cost of living beyond the reach of millions, while insecurity has worsened, turning homes, farms, and highways into danger zones.
“Unemployment rates continue to rise, with countless businesses shutting down, leaving many in despair and deepening the scourge of poverty.”
