APC Admonishes the new Ondo NUJ Exco.
We congratulate the Nigerian Union of Journalist, Ondo State Council, in its recent concluded election. Also, we congratulate the newly elected Chairman, Mr Adetona Aderoboye and other executive committee members.
The reports at our disposal shown that due process and democratic procedure characterised the entire election activities. This, as you would attest to, is in line with what our party, the APC and Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu represent.
We commend your renewed peaceful interrelationship, unfragmented affinity, commitment to good democratic values and oneness of purpose in the union.
We beseech the new Executive Committee to commit their tenure to true sportsmanship, professionalism, one devoid of rancour and pettiness.
Also, we charge you to work towards ostracizing fake journalists from your profession and fake news peddler. The authenticity of Information has become a longstanding issue affecting our society, both for printed and digital media.
On social networks, the reach and effects of information spread occur at such a fast pace and so amplified that distorted, inaccurate or false information acquires a tremendous potential to cause real world impacts, within minutes, for millions of users.
We look forward to a robust relationship with your new executive committee. We look forward to a partnership of good projection of the Project Nigeria.

Director, Media & Publicity
