He added that Egbetokun can champion the course of the Force from where he stopped
Alkali said, “We grew up in the job, we grew up together, I was his boss at a time not even when I was IG. He worked under me twice, we’ve been working together and I know how he can go ahead to champion the course of the police from where I stopped.”
In his reaction, Egbetokun said, “Now I have just been decorated and I am looking forward to taking over tomorrow morning by 11 a.m. 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 a Tiger inside of me ready to chase away all the criminals in Nigeria. And some other times, I felt like a lion in me ready to devour all the internal enemies of Nigeria. That’s my feeling right now.”
