We shouldn\u2019t be diplomatic about it, because those who are oppressing us are not diplomatic. So, we must speak to them in the language they understand.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians must take up the fight either through public interest litigation. We must continue to challenge executive impunity. And I must also say kudos to the Nigerian press for the solidarity we saw yesterday.
