Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, says he has never seen a president as tolerant as Muhammadu Buhari.
The outgoing minister spoke in Abuja at a send-forth party organised in his honour by the board of the National Broadcasting Commission .“In the bad book of governments because they think we are too soft and in the bad book of naysayers because they say we are too strict.“A station will abuse the government for a whole year, nobody will raise a finger. But if you try to impose a fine or shut the station down the whole human rights family will now say, fire Lai Mohammed.
“He has never said that minister of information and culture, go and close this station even when they are abusing him.”He said Buhari erroneously earned the appellation because “he is tolerant, and a democrat who gives his ministers free hand to discharge their duties without undue interference”. The minister urged the NBC leadership to continue to defend the amended national broadcasting code and strengthen its implementation.
The minister appealed to stakeholders in the industry and Nigerians to support the code and its provisions, adding that it would benefit the industry.
