• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion and thank Mr. Ojode for bringing it forward.

Newspapers, television and radio stations were controlled. It was so difficult to get a second opinion from any side.
