Kogi Guber: INEC cautions journalists on fake news
The call was made by the INEC National Commissioner of Information and Voters Education Committee, Barrister Festus Okoye, on Wednesday while giving a keynote address at a workshop for journalists on the 2019 Kogi Governorship Election: Legal and Procedural Issues held in Lokoja.
The Commissioner stated that “This has since become a threat in our democratic system, as such we should always discourage the spread of all news that will distract our peace and unity in the country. You should be conscious of what will be the consequence when you disseminate the wrong information.”
Most politicians during elections are into fake news and hate speech, if you don’t assist them, they will go nowhere”, he further said.
