Staff sang farewell praise, not dirge, for Yakubu - Ex-INEC chair spokesman - Vanguard News https://t.co/btOKN1bink

[Rotimi L Oyekanmi @rot1930]

It is quite a shame that a news platform would report the direct opposite of an event even when the evidence is clear.

The visible show of love and respect displayed by the appreciative INEC staff at the Commission’s headquarters yesterday as the departing former (INEC) Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu walks to his car is now been intentionally mis-interpreted and misrepresented as a “funeral song”.

This deliberate piece of disinformation can only be conjured by a set of haters masquerading as journalists at Sahara Reporters. But they have failed and will continue to fail.

Contrary to the misleading report, majority of the INEC Staff do not only openly talk about Prof Yakubu’s transformative policies that had, over the last 10 years, led to (senior and junior staff) promotions, more allowances and capacity development initiatives, they have also always demonstrated love towards him at every given opportunity throughout his tenure, which I witnessed on several occasions.

Journalism is about facts, accuracy and truthfulness, not a vehicle to be misused by pseudo journalists to embark on a campaign of calumny against individuals.

It is high time the management of Sahara Reporters cautioned persons using its platform to spread lies about individuals, institutions and events, which will be detrimental to the newspaper’s reputation in the long run.

Prof Yakubu’s place in history is assured, no matter the lies being spread by familiar forces.
