Nigerian soldiers prevent distribution of Vanguard Newspaper in Ibadan, S/South, S/East

Nigerian Soldiers have prevented the distribution of today’s edition of Vanguard newspaper in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, just as the circulation vehicles going to the South South and South East with the papers were stopped at Ore and Warri in Ondo and Delta states respectively.

In a similar report, soldiers mounting a roadblock close to the tollgate along the Abuja-Kaduna expressway blocked the Leadership newspaper’s van heading to Kaduna and confiscated the entire consignment of the paper. The driver of the vehicle as well as another staff were also detained, with their telephones seized.

The soldiers have however cordoned off all roads leading to Oke Padre, a major distribution point for newspapers and magazines in the South West.

We choose unity: APC is a home for all Nigerians - Gov. Fashola’s speech at APC convention

by Babatunde Fashola

This is a historic day not only for the APC but also for our nation. The work we begin today is the work that will build a New Nigeria; a future when there are jobs for everyone who wants to work; a future without leaders who deprive the very families they are supposed to protect; A future of peace and stability; a future when Nigeria can feed its families; a future when a Nigerian education is as good as any education in the world; a future when the high prices of food and fuel don’t undermine every family’s quality of life.

This is the future that we start to build here, today. This is why we have come from all parts of the nation.
