Asked how he felt about the new responsibility, he said: “Now, I have just been decorated and I am looking forward to taking over tomorrow morning by 11 am.
“I really cannot describe how I feel presently, but if I have to tell you anything, I will tell you that right now I feel like a Tiger inside of me ready to chase away all the criminals in Nigeria.
“And some other time, I fell like a lion in me ready to devour all the internal enemies of Nigeria. That’s my feeling right now.”
