The whole history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle.

The former Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, Thursday, alleged that the minister of information, Lai Muhammed and the senior special adviser to president Buhari on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, threatened to shut down the television station that granted him interview about Buhari’s health status, government and two years in office, if they dare air it for Nigerians to view.

According to him, “A few days ago I had a revealing, probing and i...
