| Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajimogu |
The office of the
speaker, Imo state House of Assembly has received with shock, deliberate,
clandestine and hyper-co-ordinated media sponsored attacks targeted at the
person and office of the speaker, Rt. Hon. Benjamin Uwajumogu.
It is however regrettable that this orchestrated grand plot
is to blackmail and use the media, which remains the sole conscience and
heartbeat of the society to undermine the towering political profile of the
Honourable speaker, with the malicious aims of discrediting the speaker,
portraying him as corrupt.
It should be noted that these misguided elements and mischief
makers, have been uncovered to have perfected concrete plans to set the
Honourable speaker against the good people of Imo State, and as well truncate
the relative peace which currently pervades the state.
Part of their devilish plans includes, concocting lies and
launching of unsubstantiated corrupt allegations with the sheer intents of
smearing the hard earned reputation of the Honourable speaker. Others include,
sponsoring of divisive messages and write ups with the grandstanding aim of
causing dissatisfaction among the united and peaceful members of the state
House of Assembly.
It is in the light of
this that Imolites are advised to be wary of the demeaning activities of these
shenanigans whose uncompromising aim is to stock political crisis in the state
in a bid to achieve their inordinate ambitions.
More so, Journalists and
indeed, media houses in Imo state are advised to shun unprofessional tendencies
being used by these self-centered politicians who can defy every odds of moral
rectitude to occupy political positions at all cost.
Furthermore, as members
of the fourth estate of the realm, Journalists should equally see themselves as
catalysts for national unity and cohesion, while maintaining a high sense of
professional decorum in the discharge of their core conventional duties of
informing, educating and entertaining the good people of the state.
Even as the 2015 general
elections gathers momentum, the media are encouraged to ensure strict adherence
to the professed ethics of their chosen career, which spans through
objectivity, truth, fairness and balance.
To stem this tide of
perceived unprofessional conduct, the speaker of the Imo State House of
Assembly, Rt. Honourable Benjamin Uwajumogu, hereby urge Journalists in the
country to strive and live up to their calling through the proper conduct of
investigations to ascertain the authenticity of their reports.
Against this background,
however, issues relating to the activities of the speaker of the Imo State
House of Assembly could be accurately verified through the office of the Senior
Special Assistant (Media) to the speaker to obtain the needed clarifications.
