National leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, has enjoined Nigerians to support the current government in rooting out corruption from Nigeria.
Speaking over the weekend while receiving an award as The Sun Newspapers’ Man of the Year in Lagos, he said, “We have come to a point where there is no turning back for there is nothing worthy of the sacrifices so recently made to turn back to.”
According t Tinubu, “We have reached the juncture at which we must reform our institutions, rid our country of corruption or admit that we have mortgaged away the good future due us.
“The infrastructural decay of past decades, the unemployment time bomb, the challenging security situation make a compelling case for us all to join with this government to embrace a new politics that will help build a new country.”
The former Governor of Lagos State also appealed to the media to use journalism as a tool for development.
“Journalism must become a force for good and a voice against injustice, poverty and discrimination,”
“It must always speak right to might. You must be objective. You must not be a partner to power or to those who have lost power. Your role is that of guardian and herald of the truth for the people themselves.
“Do that and you will shine in a way that will make the name of this newspaper more than apt. The media will stand the best of time and with other patriots work to make Nigeria great again,” he said.
