Former Lagos State
Governor, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Saturday urged editors in the
country to support the president’s media aides to make their jobs less
challenging.
Tinubu,
represented by Gov. Adams Oshiomhole of Edo, gave the advice in Abuja at a
reception organised by the Nigeria Guild of Editors for its members recently
appointed as president’s media aides.
Those
honoured were Mr Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to
the President and Mallam Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant on Media and
Publicity to the President.
Tinubu,
who is APC’s Party Leader and the chairman of the occasion, said the two
presidential aides needed the support to make their job less difficult.
“I
can already see that Femi and Garba are going to have real challenges but the
men and women in this hall have all what it takes to help you to make the job
less difficult,’’ he said.
Tinubu
urged editors to keep fighting corruption and other vices that undermine the
growth and development of the country.
“For
me, the media are the best fighters. If you don’t fight, the society will not
grow. Today, there are debates about poor governance. Nothing is going to
change if we don’t fight.
“It
is important to fight the war until we get the country of our dream; for me,
let us fight a cause that is necessary in order to deliver prosperity to our
people,’’ Tinubu said.
