Prof Peter Umeadi, The Presidential Candidate of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), has said that journalists should ask questions and report all happenings during the 2023 election.
“The media should not take 2023 elections for granted, they should report all electoral fraud,” Umeadi warned.
Prof Umeadi, a former Chief Judge of Anambra State, spoke during an annual lecture organised by the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Enugu.
He said “It is only when you [journalists] report those happenings that we can have better Nigeria but if we let people go without asking questions, we are not doing the country well”.
The APGA Presidential Candidate also kicked against journalists announcing election results even when the election was ongoing, saying it was too bad for the profession and democracy.
Guest speaker, Offornze Amucheazi, a Professor of Law represented by Anthony Onah, tasked journalists to push for strict adherence to the Electoral Act through their reports and advocacy.
