“We are at the point of relief, we can’t start protesting now, we need to be very careful because of the state we are now, we must not rubbish the past efforts, we all have sympathy for what Nigerians are agitating for, which is good governance, but this is the President that has been working since assumption in office, he has travelled round the world to invite Investors and they’re arriving now, we must not scared them off because of this protest.
