However, in a statement issued to newsmen in Damaturu on Tuesday, Rajab explained that the ethics of the journalism profession does not allow him to accept such an appointment nor serve in such a committee. “As a journalist, I remain neutral and, therefore, cannot be seen as taking side with a political party as accepting to serve on the council will compromise my integrity,” he said.
