Ekweremadu asks media to reject Boko Haram Propaganda

Ike Ekweremadu, Deputy Senate president has backed the Nigerian media to deemphasize activities of the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria, because they have through the media instigated fear in Nigerians. The deputy senate president made this known during a lecture organised by Senate press corps Abuja. He further said that these tact is simply to mis inform Nigerians and make them live in fright. “That is why even when a gas cylinder explodes in

any part of the country, the insurgents claim responsibility

for it, all in their desperate bid to assert themselves.

“If there is an encounter in which they lost 100 men and

the military lost four men, they strive to upturn the story

to sell to the nation a false story of invulnerability on their

part.

“It is against this backdrop that I sincerely wish to call on

the media to see through this propaganda and refuse to

help them market their falsehood.

“The battle we face is for the territorial integrity of Nigeria

and the safety of her people. Our story lines, headlines

and analyses should reflect that overriding national

interest.

“At a time like this, the press is expected to boost the

confidence of the nation, the morale of our gallant soldiers

and security operatives in the warfronts and celebrate the

superiority of our firepower,” Ekweremadu Lamented
