The former IGP was appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan.


In October 2020, Femi Adesina, presidential spokesperson, quoted Buhari as saying he wished he worked with him longer.

In a separate letter, Buhari asked the upper legislative chamber to confirm the reappointment of Mahmud Isa as resident electoral commissioner (REC) of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kebbi and the new appointment of Sani Ali for the same position in Ondo
