Meeting Tinubu in 1998 transformed my life in 24 hours – IG

The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, on Tuesday, said President Bola Tinubu made a significant impact in his life and career.

Egbetokun, who said that he met the President in 1998, said his life was transformed within 24 hours of meeting Tinubu.

The IG spoke at the unveiling of a book in his honour titled, “Readings in Policing, Peace, and Security” in Abuja.

He said, “I thank the Almighty God by whose grace I’m alive today to receive this incredible honour. My life and career are testaments to God’s infinite mercy. It has been God all the way for me..

“As I’m standing here today, my mouth is filled with testimonies. I would have loved to share some of these testimonies, but today is not thanksgiving day. I will, therefore, reserve the details of that for another day.

“I must, however, acknowledge the significant impact of a particular individual on my life and career. I met President Bola Tinubu in 1998, and that meeting produced a positive transformation in my life within 24 hours. That story is also a testimony that I would like to leave for another day.”

Speaking about the book, Egbetokun said it would serve as a reference material and a source of inspiration for young officers
