Abiodun said: "I congratulate Mr. Kayode Egbetokun on his elevation to the exalted office of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

"This is an honour done to us in Ogun State. I believe in the capacity of the new police helmsman to deliver on his mandate to secure Nigeria.

“I am confident that Egbetokun will bring his wealth of experience, garnered over the years, to bear on his new assignment. Our people are noted for hard work, competence and dignity.

“I believe that the new IGP will meet the expectations of Nigerians in bequeathing a competent, trustworthy, accountable, courageous and honest police force to the nation.”

The governor praised President Tinubu for the confidence reposed in Egbetokun in recognition of his competence and capacity to deliver.
