Tambuwal Urges Media to Defend Nigeria's Democracy

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, has called on the media to play a crucial role in defending Nigeria's democracy by promoting transparency, accountability, and good governance.

Tambuwal made the call on Tuesday at the 2019 World Press Freedom Day celebration organized by the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Abuja.

According to him, the media has a vital role to play in promoting democracy and good governance in Nigeria, and it is essential that they continue to hold those in power accountable for their actions.

"The media has a critical role to play in promoting democracy and good governance in our country. It is the fourth estate of the realm and it is expected to hold those in power accountable for their actions," Tambuwal said.

He noted that the media has the power to shape public opinion and influence the direction of the country, and it is essential that they use this power responsibly.

"I urge the media to continue to promote transparency, accountability, and good governance in our country. It is only through a free and responsible press that we can ensure that our democracy is strengthened and our country is developed," Tambuwal said.

The Speaker also commended the media for their efforts in promoting democracy and good governance in Nigeria, and he urged them to continue to do so.

"I want to commend the media for their efforts in promoting democracy and good governance in our country. It is a difficult task, but it is essential that we continue to do so," Tambuwal said.

The event was attended by journalists, politicians, and other stakeholders in the media industry.
