The new IGP replaces Usman Baba, who was appointed as the Inspector General of Police by former President Muhammadu Buhari in 2021.
In a chat with State House correspondents after the decoration, the new IGP expressed his feelings about his new responsibility, stating that he was looking forward to taking over Wednesday morning by 11 am.
“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 feel like a lion in me, ready to devour all the internal enemies of Nigeria,” he said.
The immediate past Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, also in an acting capacity, decorated Baba with his new rank of IGP in 2021.
