This is because we have seen a gradual erosion in the belief and trust of government communication in this country."

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, says he is advocating trust in public communication as most Nigerians no longer have faith in their leaders. The minister stated this in an exclusive interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja.

“What we want is to let Nigerians know the truth from those that should tell the truth. I think it is imperative that trust in public communication should be returned.

“This is because we have seen a gradual erosion in the belief and trust of government communication in this country. We have reached a level where most Nigerians don’t even believe what their leaders are telling them and these are leaders the people elected by themselves.

“So, there is a need for us, seeing where we are coming from and seeing that deficit in trust, to begin to, at least maintain the truth at all times, no matter what it cost, so that people can then trust their leaders and the information coming from them,” he said.

According to the minister, telling the truth is the starting point, adding that when people know that the government is telling the truth, those who are reporting the information also have to report the truth.

He said the government is going to encourage everyone involved to always say the truth.
“We are going to campaign against conveyors of bad news because bad news can lead to destruction, anarchy and disunity. It is absolutely important that we tell the truth at all times, and we are going to encourage all media practitioners to adhere to the values and truth; the values that this profession had taught us,” the minister said.

On fake news, the minister emphasised that it was not only Nigeria’s problem, stressing that it is actually a global challenge that even developed countries are struggling to overcome. He explained that there is a global search for the best way to tackle the issue of fake news.

“When such best strategy is gotten, Nigeria will begin to key into it, to see that the issues of fake news are dealt with in a more responsible manner. This will be done without infringing on the rights of the people and what is happening around them”.

How can citizens build trust around a band of people who criminally forced their way into govt? People who are election riggers/electoral criminals, certificate forgers, BH terrorists sympathetizers, bandit advocates, corruption indicted senate president, a COS indicted in credit card fraud and 419 in the US?

How can your government shamelessly lied of Tinubu being the first and only last African leader to be invited by a seating US president for side talks @ the UNGA? How can the same government nauseatingly lied to Nigerian of the end of the same fuel subsidy they called a fraud from inception, but have been shamelessly perpetuating same fraud till date?

What about the senseless lies about spurious non-existent IGR by the government you subserve, but still on an endless borrowing spree Mr minister? Who is fooling who?

How can well discerning citizens trust leaders who brazenly lied to them and even made lie telling and propaganda the official policies of governance and administration? How can Nigerians believe the certified criminals in a govt that reeks of moral rectitude? Abeg make we hear word.

This one goes first to indict his predecessor-the legendary former lying machine of the catastrophic APC govt -Lai-the-lying-liar Mohammed who ingloriously mesmerised the Nigerian nation with his endless tales of bewildering bigger-than-life lies and propaganda.

Mr Honourable Minister, why should anyone believe people who use lies, propaganda and deceits to run your country?

To make matters worse, they even gaslight you! Nigeria was manageable before APC took over and destroyed everything.

Well is very difficult for anyone to believe our leaders. They say one thing and do another. They really need to change for good.

Meanwhile,

We can't believe or trust the government that changes like a chameleon and always have the agenda of making her citizens suffer despite all the abundant natural resources God blessed us with.

Our government should be sent abroad to learn how other government behaves especially US, Canada, UK and other countries Nigerians are using all their savings to travel to.

Our government must be sent on an Internship to other government.

Na talk be this right?

If not for your own appointment to become a minister, did you believe in the leadership of your country?

The side you are at determines how you see the country most times, minister.
