The Acting Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has revealed what he meant by the statement he made during his inauguration speech, where he said, "I feel like a Tiger, Lion inside me, to devour the internal enemies of Nigeria.

He revealed he said that just to express how very anxious he is, to start working and to also convey the message that he is very much aware that there are enemies they need to fight together.

According to him, “I mean to explain what I said yesterday when I said the way I was feeling right now is like there was a tiger or a lion in me, ready to chase criminals away in Nigeria and devour the internal enemies of Nigeria.

“I said that just to express how anxious I am to start work. And to also convey the message that I'm aware that there are enemies that we need to fight together, if you listen to my speech, I mentioned that we need to collaborate together to be able to surmount the courage to face our challenges today.

“It is going to a collective responsibility. All of us will be involved; everybody will be a policeman. We are going to partner with every group, every law-abiding individual.”

As long as he is not selective of who to chase or not. It’s too early to start denying a statement. Until he calls his boys to order who lined up along benin to onitsha collecting bribes from innocent motorists.

Just do your job, as a public figure what you say and what you mean will always be interpreted based on interest and sentiments...

So just focus

Everything comes to light with time.

So with time we'll know what you truly meant.

I want to believe you, but then again you're a Nigerian in power, whatever that means.

Fingers crossed.

Too much talk.

When you’re to work, do the work, stop talking.

Well, just know you now occupy a sensitive position & as such your utterances should be guarded, so you don't go to & fro making a statement & coming back to explain what you actually meant.

Tinubu has infected every one working for him with this statement clarification

After a statement is made, and there's a backlash, they go back and make another statement to clarify the previous statement

Damage control
