The Acting Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun, says he is feeling like a lion that is ready to devour Nigeria’s enemies.
According to Daily Trust, he said this shortly after Vice-President Kashim Shettima decorated him in presence of his wife, Mrs Egbetokun, at a brief ceremony which took place at Vice President’s Conference Hall.
When asked about the kind of weight the new responsibility had on him, he said, ” Now I have just been decorated and I am looking forward to taking over tomorrow morning by 11 am.
” I really can’t describe how I feel presently, but if I have to tell you anything, I will tell you that right now, I feel like Tiger inside of me ready to chase away all the criminals in Nigeria.
“And some other time, I feel like a lion in me ready to devour all the internal enemies of Nigeria. That’s my feeling right now.”
The ceremony was attended by the outgoing IGP, Usman Alkali Baba; the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; and Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, who doubles as Chairman of the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF).
Egbetokun, a former Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of South West, was appointed on Monday to replace Baba.
