His predecessor was an accomplished IG....He really has big shoes to fill.

Mr president is not only suffering from ear infection, but ethnocentrism, bigotry, Northic Ebola and oranuniesis.
Tinubu,
Amechi,
Osinbajo,
Ngige , you people tricked us to vote for APC because of your selfish agenda.

Some people are certainly going to fault this appointment. 'Why should it be a northerner?', they'll query forgetting that when a northerner left Federal Civil Service Commission, a southerner took over.

DeSepiero:

He's a Nigerian.

Of course, only the North is qualified to be Nigerians...the South are Moroccans
