“I’m a law abiding citizen and I will go to the office this morning, if they want to stop me, they should.

“I will not do anything that would lead to the loss of life. I have been maintaining peace, the office of the deputy governor must be given it’s rightful respect.

“I will resume in the office and face my work, if he allows me to see him, I will and if not; I will face my work.”
