Buhari Invites Newspaper Editors. "A Package" To Be Given Out - Sahara Reporters by osinbanjoisaliar: 9:57pm On Sep 07, 2016
President Muhammadu Buhari has invited to the presidential villa on Friday morning the editors of all Nigerian newspapers, reportedly for a security briefing.


In an unusual development, the invitations, which were signed by presidential spokesman Femi Adesina, were sent to the editors of all newspaper titles, magazines and periodicals, as well as their managing directors and editors-in-chief. In the past, presidential aides invited to such meetings only the editors of the daily newspapers.

Our correspondent was told that the presidency will cover the travel, accommodation and feeding expenses of the invitees.

Despite security being given as the reason for the unprecedented meeting, it is widely-known that the Presidency is deeply troubled about the negative reports about the government in the past few weeks on account of the economic hardship in the country.

A source told SaharaReporters that the guests are expected to receive “a package,” which is expected to be financial, after the meeting. Already, some of the journalists, especially in those organizations that are owing salaries, are said to be excited about such a prospect.

“As long as the journalists understand that any gift they accept is a bribe, it is not a problem”, a columnist for one of the newspapers said on Wednesday. “And hopefully, the government understands that the concept of “media” is now a slippery one, as anyone with a phone or a computer is now a reporter and an opinion leader. Only the right policies, dutifully implemented, can sway public opinion.”

Such a wasteful govt despite all their sanctimonious claims to d contrary. I wonder why this particular demon in aso rock cannot handle criticism and truth. He must always seek to control and dictate information released to d public so he can get undeserved support and adulation.

That is how he brought about the infamous Decree 4; tried again at d national assembly and now it is to expend public funds on such malevolent intentions to hoodwink the people via the press.

Let the idiots that stand with this dog keep drowning in their wicked n contrived ignorance.

Their messiah has resorted to giving bribes since there is no Decree 4 this time around to hide his incompetence and shield him from media battery. grin

Still praying though.

He's calling them for press briefing. And when you invite guests to your home, it is customary to pay their bills and feed them. Buhari may be clueless about the economy, but he is disciplined and doesn't offer or receive bribes.

But some of us have said he is actually corrupt. I think this will massively backfire.
What transpired will leak out from more than one or two leak holes.
This might be a self-destructive move from the presidency

the interesting thing is that the media has actually been quite kind & fair in its reportage of news about this regime.

but I think the regime is gradually running out of propaganda to feed them about the quadrillions stolen by the past regime & therein lays the problem...

the media has realised that Nigerians thrive on salacious news & since the news about the past government has become stale, they are baying for fresh blood...

& this leads me to think that some political appointees are about to be thrown to the dogs...
