The Presidency yesterday congratulated the newly elected president of the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE), Mr Eze Anaba.
“This is a light that the NGE is showing that the rest of us may find the way to a mature, tolerant, stable and sustainable democratic culture.
“The NGE has, in this regard, made a strong statement for the Nigerian media as a worthy exemplar. But then, elections are not held within the unions in our profession just for the sake of holding elections to appoint new officers of associational offices,” he said. The president pledged the support of his administration for the media to achieve the lofty objectives in the best interest of the country.
He commended the outgoing president, Mustapha Isah, for his leadership attributes and for organising a successful election.Similarly, Rivers State Governor, Siminalaye Fubara, applauded the emergence of Anaba.
