My CV Was Sent To Bugri Naabu To Lobby For IGP Position For Me – COP Alex Mensah
Former Director General of operations for the Ghana Police Service, COP George Alex Mensah, has disclosed that an individual forwarded his resume to former Northern Regional Chairman of the NPP, Daniel Bugri Naabu, to persuade President Nana Akufo-Addo to appoint him as the Inspector General of Police(IGP).
COP Mensah indicated that he had wanted to be the IGP since 2017.
According to him, this lobbying has been ongoing since the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) assumed office in 2017.
He said even though he has not been successful at that yet, he has not given up on that desire.
He made this known on Thursday, August 31, when he appeared before an ad-hoc committee of Parliament probing the content of a leaked tape believed to be an alleged plot to remove the current IGP, Dr George Akuffo Dampare, from office.
“I gave my CV to someone to give to Bugri Naabu for him to lobby for me to be appointed the IGP. We all lobby. I started lobbying since 2017.
The Commissioner of Police noted that Mr Naabu’s testimony about him in the presence of the committee was full of lies.
“We were all here when Supt. Gyebi denied that he never spoke to Bugri Naabu. Bugri Naabu came here to lie,” he said.
