Secretary toDelta State government, Comrade OvuozorieMacauley has warned publishers of community newspapers against being used asagents of destruction, stating that if they fall cheaply for such blackmail bydetractors who “don’t like Uduaghan’s face”, it will be difficult to repair thedamage after Uduaghan leaves office June 15.
ComradeMacauley tasked publishers of community newspapers and magazines to help instrengthening the unity of the state in particular and the country at large bypublishing stories that are factual, instead of those that tend to createdivision.
The DeltaState SSG, who gave the advice when he received members of Delta State Chapterof Association of Community Newspaper and Magazine Publishers of Nigeria, ACNPNat his office in Asaba, noted that the state government will continue to “work”with members of the association.
On theappeal for a member of the state chapter of ACNPN to be appointed as SpecialAssistant to the governor on Community Newspaper, Comrade Macauley who is aseasoned journalist stated, “the appointment of Special Assistant on Communitynewspaper has left a sour taste in the history of the state government”.
He advisedmembers of ACNPN to work hard to clean the bad memory left in the mind of thestate governor by one of its members who was appointed as aide on communitynewspaper.
Fresh Angle reliably gathered that the formerSpecial Assistant to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan on community newspaper, Chief DavidOmoru, who was a pioneer member of Delta State Chapter of ACNPN, capitalized onhis elevation to fight against the PDP when he resolved to contest an electiveposition on the platform of another political party.
The DeltaState Chairman of ACNPN, Prince Eromosere Usemuru Orhomonokpaye had in briefspeech appealed to the SSG to look into the appointment of one of its own asaide to the government.
Fresh Angle can report that 20 publishers ofcommunity newspapers and magazines attended the courtesy visit.
