IPC begins tracking Tinubu’s campaign promises
He added, “I will say that we have not lived up to expectation in that aspect. One of the things we talked about in terms of the role of the media is to set agenda at elections but often it is the politicians that set the agenda for us and they are clever at doing this. They come up with statements, they attack themselves and we’ll begin to report that and then forget the issues.
Arogundade said, “We just came back from Owerri where we had the convention of the Nigerian Guild of Editors. One of the issues that also came up is the fact that we need to push for constitutional protection for press freedom in Nigeria. That is what makes the media in Ghana for example, better than in Nigeria.
“We’re also hopeful that the new government too, will be media friendly. We’re hopeful that those who are editors, those who are journalists will be working with this government will remember the constituency they’re coming from, it will be too bad if, at the end of the day, they begin to justify attacks on journalists.”
