Aregbesola declares war on Punch Newspaper
Category: Nigerian National News
The Osun State Governor, Mr. Rauf Aregbesola, has declared war on The PUNCH Newspapers for reporting the views of opposition parties on happenings in the state.
The governor, in a video clip watched by our correspondent in Osogbo on Tuesday, made the public declaration of war against The PUNCH Newspapers and Tribune Newspapers on September 8, during the commencement of the distribution of plastic chairs and desks to schools in the state.
The ceremony was held on the premises of Adenle Middle School, Osogbo.
Making an allusion to the media reports on the unpaid salary crisis in the state, the governor said The PUNCH and other newspapers supported his adversaries to lie against his government.
He
said, “They didn’t spare us on any platform. Even today, they lied
against us and some shameless organs of mass communication supported
them.
“Say shame on them, shame! All of them
and those who are supporting them. Some newspapers knew they were lying,
yet they supported them. PUNCH reported last week Thursday that they had just released the money, the same PUNCH published today that we have kept the money for two months. Shame on all of them, shame!
“Newspapers are meant to educate the people; they are not meant to incite the public against the government. Shame on PUNCH, shame on Tribune. I say it openly; let them challenge me.
“The PUNCH Newspaper, Tribune Newspapers have declared war on our state and we shall not spare them. We shall not spare them; it’s war!
“You can’t be attacking us and expect us
to be quiet; we shall fight back. The time has come for us to fight
back; we will fight back.”
