way, they know what is wrong, they know what is right and I think
they are doing their best.

”I hope their best will be good enough for Nigeria.”

President Buhari, who announced the appointment of the acting
I-G, Usman Baba, while in London, via the Minister of Police
Affairs, Alhaji Maigari Dingyadi, said due process was strictly

committee by the Minister of Police Affairs, they gave me some
names and he happened to be the one chosen.

through all the trainings, he has the necessary experience.

”So, we have a high expectation from him.”
