I will be satisfied if the federation of secret law, unequal pardon and irresistible executive powers that rule the world that I love are revealed even for an instant.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
Standing here in a house of history, and acutely aware of my own imperfections, I pledge that if I am confirmed I will do all my powers permit to be a faithful servant of the Constitution and laws of this great country.
Conscious of my own weakness, I can only seek fervently the guidance of the Ruler of the Universe, and, relying on His all-powerful aid, do my best to restore Union and peace to a suffering people, and to establish and guard their liberties and rights.
We will be a country of generosity and warmth. But we will also be a country of law and order.
I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me.
My joy knows no bounds... I will devote all my energy and all the powers available to me to the service of Nigeria and humanity.
I will run an open government that speaks with honesty, seeks opinion, listens to its citizens.
I will do everything in my power to ensure that our United Nations can live up to its name, and be truly united; so that we can live up to the hopes that so many people around the world place in this institution, which is unique in the annals of human history.
We now occupy the proud attitude of a sovereign and independent Republic, which will impose upon us the obligation of evincing to the world that we are worthy to be free. This will only be accomplished by wise legislation, the maintenance of our integrity, and the faithful and just redemption of our plighted faith wherever it has been pledged.
I think we are realizing that we are going to have to have an international rule of law.
