President Bola Tinubu has appealed to the media not to be used as megaphones for bandits and terrorists.
Tinubu made this statement on Thursday during the first State House Press Corps Presidential Dinner held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He charged the media against undermining the country with what he described as irresponsible reporting.
“The media must resist the temptation of becoming megaphones for terrorists and kidnappers.
“We must not undermine our country with irresponsible reporting. If we do, we will have no safe space left, especially at a time when our nation is tackling security threats, neutralizing thousands of criminal elements, and rescuing hostages.
“The media should not become an amplifier for those who wish to harm us.
“The government must act, the media must watch, the government must explain, and the media must question,” he said.
