A veteran journalist and former governor of Ogun State, Chief Olusegun Osoba, has frowned on attempts to punish conventional media for the wrongs of non-professionals on the social media platforms.
He therefore urged media practitioners at all levels not to allow the bill on fake news and hate speech see the light of the day. Osoba, in his remark at the opening ceremony of the 15th conference of the Nigeria Guild of Editors in Sokoto, however, hammered on the need to fight all media abuses by non-professionals.“Even if it will take lobbying to resist the move, I offer myself for the struggle against its passage. I belong to this noble profession and will have to make it survive,” he said.
Similarly Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State said, “Draconian legislations have no place in our democracy. The media occupied a special position in the fight for the country’s independence, as well the return of the nation to democracy in fighting the excesses in power positions. It has an impeccable role of putting leadership at all levels on their toes and be accountable to the governed.”All rights reserved.
