They have right to everything and these are things we want to correct we want the citizens to know that they have a right to be protected and whoever violated that right must pay dearly for it.
“My message to all those foreign internationals that are here to work in Nigeria is that our citizens are not slaves to them, they must be able to respect the law, they must be able to respect the individual right of association and right to complain, they cannot subdue them just because they are less privileged, nobody has that right to violate other right.
