  The Rivers State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Rivers State Police Command, demanding a public apology for the assault on five journalists during a peaceful protest in Port Harcourt. Failure to comply, the union warned, would result in a statewide media blackout. In a statement jointly signed by Council Chairman Comrade Paul Bazia and Secretary Dr. Ijeoma Tubosia, the NUJ condemned the police actions as “unprovoked, barbaric, and inhuman,” calling for the immediate identification and prosecution of the officers involved. “The NUJ, as a watchdog of society, will not sit idly by while media practitioners are subjected to barbarism and brutality. Enough is enough,” the statement read, adding that further attacks on journalists would be “vehemently resisted.” The assaulted journalists—Charles Opurum of Channels TV, Allwell Ene of Naija FM, Soibelemari Oruwari of Nigeria Info, Ikezam Godswill of AIT, and Femi Ogunkhilede of Supe...

 Seek forgiveness from Shettima, Ndume tells Tinubu’s aide Bwala


The Senator representing Borno South, Mohammed Ali Ndume, has asked Daniel Bwala, the newly appointed Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to “seek forgiveness” from Vice President Kashim Shettima whose emergence as Tinubu’s running mate made him leave the All Progressives Congress (APC) because he is a Muslim.


Ndume in a statement on Saturday also asked Bwala to work closely with Shettima to promote the “Renewed Hope” agenda of the Tinubu administration.

President Tinubu had on Thursday appointed Bwala, former spokesperson for ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign as his Special Adviser, Media and Public Communications.

The president also appointed three others as directors-general of various agencies.

“Work with him (Shettima) closely as your second principal to promote the ‘Renewed Hope’ agenda of Mr President.

“You should learn from Sunday Dare and Ononuga who are long and loyal associates of Tinubu; who always defend the policies of Mr President without being abusive and offensive.

“You should also learn from the likes of Hadiza Bala and Nuhu Ribadu (NSA) who defend and market Tinubu’s policies backed by facts and figures. Finally you should also link up with our people at the grassroots because charity begins from home.

I wish you success in your new assignment,” he stated.

Ndume said President Tinubu had a large heart for accommodating Bwala, one-time  spokesman to his political opponent, Atiku Abubakar.

The Borno lawmaker said his appointment was a rare demonstration of large heartedness in leadership, “a quality that is difficult to find in many leaders today.”
