\"\"\u201cI am looking forward to taking over tomorrow morning by 11 am,\u201d he told state house correspondents.<\/div>\n

<\/ins><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI really can\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd some other times, I feel like a lion in me ready to devour all the internal enemies of Nigeria. That\u2019s my feeling right now.\u201d<\/p>\n
