‘So, we would approach a high court to get an injunction against the exercise, that is if not being done through the legal people, not that we are against the exercise, we are on the process of getting the injunction, waiting for hearing notice.

‘For now, we are on standby, the exercise continues till March 30, so there’s no rush. Let people start, there is still time from now till March 30,’ Nwafor said.
