Maxymilliano: Very funny of Azu and his staff crew to play the victim, like I postulated earlier on similar thread, where there right end is where another's right start.

Freedom of speech does not mean shouting fire! Fire! where there is none.

Some of us claim to know what we don't know in this country. What was published by Leadership News amounts to sedition; incitement of the public against the president and the government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

We shouldn't because of our myopic political ambitions or for the interest of a greedy few do things that will cause havoc in this country!

Gbenga Aruleba of AIT and Rotimi Durojaiye, aviation correspondence of Daily Independence Newspaper were arrested and charged in 2006 for sedition during Obasanjo's regime when the duo erroneously question the cost and air worthiness of Obasanjo's new Presidential jet and described it as 'Tokunbo'.

It won't be a new thing and once again, I urge the Attorney General of the Federation to bring an action against the Newspaper and its editors ... Heaven will not fall!

eGuerrilla: @nuclearboy,

You are addressing a group of individuals who would go to any length to mask the excesses of the current government. Stick around long enough and you would be regaled with more of the same vacuous argument they all present.

Adura_ngba: Good for them.

Vision2017:

What was falsified in that report if I may ask? Secondly, shouldn't your so called President approach a competent court of jurisdiction if at all he felt some group of persons or orgainzation as the case may be want to assasinate his goodwill image? Every normal and right thinking person welcomes constructive criticisms so they could grow. It might also interest you to know that it was relayed sometime last week in the electronic media that some groups of unscrupulous individuals openly adduced they were paid by the ruling party to file application at the INEC office with same acronym- 'APC' solely to cause cog in the wheel of progress to the emerging, gigantic, powerful, purposeful and dynamic opposition party(APC) that will wrestle power from this power-drunk and corruption-infected ruling party(PDP).
It is on record and I stand to be challenged that till date, the national publicity secretary of the PDP, Cheif Olisa Metuh has not denied the allegation nor any of the party hierachy has done so.
So what are you saying? Anybody who means well for this nation will join the bandwagon and we shall together send PDP not just out of the seat of power but to oblivion.

Goddex: GEJ is too tolerating, that is why these guys in the press keep chunning out lies to the public. They dared not tried this rubbish with Obj.

Simple questions to leadership newspaper:

1) produce the hardcopy of the bromide - the hardcopy may not even be there. What was published on the paper was mere graphic work that was poorly done and by an amateur.

2) State the source - simple truth, the document was forged and there is no source anywhere.

I think these guys should be dealt with severely to serve as eye opener to those guys in Punch, Nation etc

freechat: 1. You sound as though you can vouch for the authenticity of that report.
2. It is called "character assassination", not "constructive criticism" - and nobody condones that.
3. My submission is that every well-meaning Nigerian should vote for a credible candidate, not along party lines. After all your so-called purposeful & dynamic party (APC) parades some corrupt politicians who did not find space to ply their trade under PDP. I don't believe in partisan politics, at least not just yet.

take dat: Hehehe! You idiiots looking for whom to pick on have failed to point out where/how I contradicted myself in all my posts on this fake presidential directive. So its now a crime to advice that legal proceedings be instituted against them instead of unlawful detention for the court to adjudicate?

nuclearboy: With the deliberate misinterpreting above, its obvious you people know the truth but wish to cover it with noise!

How any human can turn "Take Dat"'s words to mean illegal detention, police brutality (refusing to allow a woman use the bathroom till she begged) and intimidation (thought you can't be detained illegally under the law and not for more than 24 hours anyway) plus harrassment (why do you want the hardcopy rather than get them to present it and whatever other they have to a competent court), beats me!!!

iykak47: Arrest of journalists is not new, after all some News of the world reporters that involved in phone hacking scandal in UK were detained for months, being a journalist is not a licence to publish falsehoods, if a journalist cross the red line he must face the consequences. People talk about free speech without also talking about millions of dollars publishers pay in libel suits to their victims.

Right is not absolute.

tijayjay:
I am not for jonathan, but the truth must be told, it is a serious offense to forge or falsity state document, a document from the highest office of the land, the journalist should prove them self free by stating the origin of the document.
Every body with common sense know that the document was false for the following reasons.
1. NO ANY RECIPIENT STATED ON THE SAID DIRECTIVE
2. NO ANY SIGNATURE ON THE SAID DIRECTIVE
3. NO ANY OFFICIAL STAMPED ON THE SAID DIRECT
4. THE DIRECT WAS TYPE ON A SHEET OF PAPER ONLY WITH THE COAT OF ARM
So how come the editor do not notice that it was fake and went ahead to publish the fake document against the highest office of the land,i smell a rat here, the journalist must have be compromised by opposition, they must answer and clear the name if they are innocent this is worse than boko haram, u do not expect the presidency to be quite on such offense.

Toktee: So why dont you ask your paymaster to take leadership newspaper to court to proof its news wth more facts instead of engaging in an unconstitutional act?

Vision2017:
And if you sincerely meant the phrase 'CREDIBLE CANDIDATE', then Buhari is same person you are talking about cause both past and present antecedents is a pointer to the fact that HE alone and I repeat HE alone has the antidot that can vaccinate this hitherto great nation that has been brought on her knees presently by the clueless and visionless GEJ's administration against the the whimps and caprices of corruption which is the disease Nigeria is suffering from. @ OP, we are on same page and I urge you to join the bandwagon

eGuerrilla:

Didn't Abati state that the directive in question was borne of an overactive imagination?

Rather than chasing shadows - when even the casual observer knows there are several moles in the Presidency - why not simply go ahead and charge the reporters to court if you feel an act of sedition has been committed.

Toktee: And when one shout fire!fire!! And come out to check and there iz no fire what do u do ?

take dat: Why continue further with this moronic argument/defense of yours? After making arrest, isn't charging them to court the next thing and within the legal timeframe? Does arrest mean the same as illegal detention? Out of mischief, you took one out of my numerous posts on this fake directive to attack me! I'll pay you no mind cos you fellas who are now applauding this current move of the police were initially against it. So who is the real hypocrite?
