We PFN see the use of the military to quench civil unrest as something not good enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He however advised the Federal Government to \u201cEquip the police to handle civil cases,\u201d stressing that a man\u2019s right starts where another man\u2019s right stops.<\/p>\n<p>Omobude however advised agitators to carry out whatever grievance they may have in consonance with the provisions of the law which would not in any way endanger others. \u201cAgitation should be done within the law. Everyone has the right to clamour for his right. If your right is endangering the other person\u2019s right then it is wrong,\u201d he said.<\/p><div data-ad-id=\"32665\" style=\"text-align:center; margin-top:0px; margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:0px; margin-right:0px;float:none;\" class=\"afw afw_ad_image afw_ad afwadid-32665  \">\r\n                                                            <div style=\"font-size:10px;text-align:center;color:#cccccc;\">Advertisement<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.accessbankplc.com\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"auto\" max-width=\"100%\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalwire.com.ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Banner-1.jpg\"><\/a>\r\n                                                                        \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Stressing the stand of the PFN, the President of the organization also said, \u201cPeople want to have rights over their resources and the voice of the people should be listened to.
