Adoyi's words:
“We are asking for the immediate resignation of the chairman of the PSC, Mr Smith. Anything short of this would leave us no choice but to use all lawful instruments available to us to vehemently pass a vote of no confidence on the Smith-led Board of the PSC.
“We are demanding for his immediate resignation to pave the way for a competent and law-abiding citizen whose leadership would respect the letters and spirit of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
Adoyi also noted that the global #EndSARS protest which basically took place in 2020 was a result of Smith's ineptitude as chairman of PSC.
He added:
“We as staff members of the commission recognise our huge responsibility to shape the Police Force into an organisation that Nigerians would be proud of, hence, we have decided not to fail this great nation, that is the reason we are in this struggle.”
