The leading gubernatorial aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Oyo State, Ambassador Olufemi Ajadi Oguntoyinbo, has extended warm congratulations to Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Goddey I. Iteyere (rtd.) following his successful retirement from the Nigeria Police Force after years of meritorious service to the nation.
In a goodwill message made available to journalists on Wednesday, Ajadi described the retired senior police officer as a disciplined and patriotic public servant whose commitment to law enforcement contributed to strengthening peace and order in different parts of Nigeria.
According to Ajadi, retirement from active service should not be seen as an end but a transition into another phase of life where experience can still be used for national development and community service.
“Chief Superintendent of Police Goddey I. Iteyere has served this nation with honour, courage, and dedication. His retirement is well deserved, and I celebrate him for his sacrifices in maintaining law and order in our society,” Ajadi said.
He further noted that officers like Iteyere represent the backbone of Nigeria’s internal security architecture, stressing that their contributions often go unnoticed by the public despite the risks and challenges associated with policing.
Ajadi added: “On behalf of myself and my team, I congratulate CSP Goddey I. Iteyere on this milestone. We pray that God grants him good health, peace of mind, and a rewarding post-retirement life. His wealth of experience is still needed in nation-building, especially in mentoring younger generations of security personnel.”
He also urged serving officers in the Nigeria Police Force to remain committed to professionalism, integrity, and respect for human rights, noting that such values are essential for building public trust in security institutions.
“Policing is a noble but demanding profession. I encourage those still in service to emulate officers like Iteyere who have retired with dignity and honour. The nation depends on their discipline and commitment,” he added.
Chief Superintendent of Police Goddey I. Iteyere (rtd.) is expected to be celebrated by family, friends, colleagues, and associates in recognition of his long-standing service to the Nigeria Police Force.
The congratulatory message adds to a growing list of public tributes for retiring officers who have served the country in various capacities within the security sector.
