But you know too well that these guys doesn't care. You know how they think. Someone in the Presidency will say, OH forget it. What is an Award? Will it put Money in your Pocket?

Osibanjo is a criminal terrorist vagabond

This is a slap on Nigerians, to think Sowore was part of the reasons for the postponement. Then their other reason was because of the social media bill, is Osinbajo NASS?

My only take away here is the Vice President CHOSE not to receive the award at this time. That is the highest act of integrity. And I will continually respect him.

idid:
Good

More of this should come, he deserves no award.

Osinbajo is a coward

The Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism has postponed the presentation of award to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

Prof Osinbajo was initially scheduled to be presented the Anti-Corruption Defender Award at the ceremony on Monday, Igbere TV reports.

However, a statement on Monday by the centre’s executive director/CEO, Motunrayo Alaka, said the postponement was due to the repression of free speech in recent times especially the incident between the Department of State Services (DSS) and convener of RevolutionNow protest, Omoyele Sowore.

Mr Sowore was rearrested while in court on Friday just hours after his release on Thursday night.

“The Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism has postponed the presentation of award to the Nigerian Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo,” the statement said.

“The postponement was decided on, to align with protests against the repression of freedom of speech in recent times, especially the incidence between the Department of State Security (DSS) and Omoyele Sowore, Publisher of Sahara Reporters, on Friday 6 December.”

Mr Alaka added that Osinbajo “himself shares this awareness and the inappropriateness of the award at this point.”

The statement, however, said the award presentation programme would hold as scheduled.

“13 journalists from print, online, television, radio, photo, and editorial cartoon categories will be celebrated. Veteran photojournalist, Sunmi Smart-Cole, and Amnesty Nigeria will also be presented honorary awards of the Lifetime Award for Journalistic Excellence and the Anti-Corruption Defender Award (Human Rights Specialty) respectively,” it said.

Osinbajo really deserves award. But even with the award or not Osinbajo will continue to go higher

You couldn't have said you postponed an award because of Sowore saga when the VP is not even in Nigeria to receive any award.
My amiable VP is currently in UAE
This is part of the fake news we are clamouring against from the fake blogger
