"I don't lead from the back, I lead from the front. We will try, we will do our best to provide leadership, built on the foundation of your support." Tunji-Ojo.

The newly appointed Honourable Minister of Interior, Hon. Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has charged the various heads of paramilitary agencies under the supervision of the ministry to discharge their mandates in line with extant laws, saying he would hold them accountable for any infraction.

The Minister gave the charge on Monday when he assumed office at the Old Federal Secretariat premises.

He said; "I am here to work but in working we must have a good environment. The work of this ministry affects everyone whether you are rich or poor.

"I don't lead from the back, I lead from the front. We will try, we will do our best to provide leadership, built on the foundation of your support.

"I do not inherit enemies and I do not inherit friends. I make my own enemies and I earn my own friends. I am here to make a change and I am here to deliver results and I need you to help me to do that.

"Just as Mr President will hold me accountable for whatever happens in the Ministry of Interior, I will never hold your subordinates responsible for anything; I will hold you responsible for anything that goes wrong", he added.
