I congratulated him for a job well done and he too congratulated Vanguard Newspapers for the role we played. Force PRO, Moshood Jimoh was also to commend Vanguard during the week on Channels Television.

The Northern youth’s declaration was an action against all other Nigerians, not just the Igbo. We are still waiting for their elders to apologise to the rest of the country. Their action is condemnable. The action of the Igbo when they declared sit-at-home protest as special day for their fallen heroes during the civil war was not provocative.
