3.There must be strict adherence to the Rule of Law and protection for all citizens by the President and his appointees. 

4.The President must be held accountable for the actions of his appointees and must be ready to sanction those that carry out any act which will ridicule or endanger our country and democracy. 

5.The Government should show sincerity in the fight against corruption by not being selective, also prosecute current appointees that have cases pending against them.

6.The sanctity of the National Assembly should be protected and preserved the Federal Government of Nigeria by not interfering in its business and prosecuting those who invaded the Senate to seize the mace.
