The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Olatunji Disu, has assured Nigerians that the police will build on past successes and ensure professionalism during the 2027 elections, according to a report by Punch Newspapers. Disu made these comments during a press conference on Thursday, 15th October 2026. While the IGP did not specify the past elections he was referring to, his statement is a sign of the police’s commitment to improving the electoral process in Nigeria. The IGP’s assurance comes after the 2023 elections, which were largely peaceful but still faced numerous challenges such as voter apathy, logistical issues, and allegations of electoral fraud. According to Disu, the police will work tirelessly to address these challenges and ensure a free, fair, and credible election in 2027. This is good news for Nigerians who have long called for improved electoral processes in the country. The police’s commitment to the 2027 elections is a promising sign that the lessons learned from previous elections will be applied to improve the electoral process in the future.
