The Catholic Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Most Rev. Felix Femi
Ajakaye, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari, to address Nigerians on the
challenges confronting the nation.
Bishop Ajakaye said what is happening in Nigeria now calls
for concerns, especially the issues of kidnapping, killings, banditry and
should be addressed by the President himself and not his aides.
The Bishop called on President Buhari to command the nation
very well, asking him “what legacy would he leave behind when his tenure is
over”?
Bishop Ajakaye, made this remarks during the weekend at St.
Patrick’s Catholic Cathedral in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State capital, during the 55th
World Communication Day, where many journalists were in attendance at the Mass.
The theme of the day: “Come and See”, Communicating by
Encountering People Where and as They Are”, the message of His Holiness Pope
Francis, for the 2021 World Communications Day.
Bishop Ajakaye, urged media people, journalists to go beyond
the “complacent attitude that we “already know” certain things.
He said: “As journalists, we need to practice journalism,
media of integrity and credibility, saying there is no room for Armchair
Journalism where a journalist bases his report or
presentation on mere speculation without making thorough and necessary
investigation. Armchair journalism portends danger.
“All of us are responsible for the communication we make,
for the information we share, for the control that we can exert over fake news
by exposing it. All of us are to be witnesses of the truth: to go, to see and
to share.”
