He further expressed the need for the rule of law to take its full course in Nigeria and he believes that once that happens, our leaders will be more accountable. In his words:
Secondly we need RULE OF LAW!! Let all of them! Every single one of them!! Let them know the law is above every single one of them!! It’s the only way to protect each and every one of us!!
All actions of each and every single Govt official or member of police ! Every senator governor everybody! Let them be afraid of the law! No one is above it! Some of our laws even provide ways we can remove these officials but they are still not afraid!
