Between IGP Disu and DIG Mba: A Personal Reflection

In some quarters, a narrative of over‑ambition is being projected onto Mba. From my vantage point, this is far from the truth. Both men are professionals who have served the Republic with distinction. However, in the tradition of the Force, when a junior or a peer is elevated to the pinnacle, veterans often consider “leaving the stage while the ovation is loudest.” This is not a sign of failure but a mark of ultimate sacrifice for institutional harmony. Whether Mba continues to serve under this new dispensation or seeks a new horizon, his legacy as Nigeria’s most effective communicator in uniform is already secure.
