KNOCKS FOR TUNJI BELLO FOR ATTACKING AMBODE

Mr. Tunji Bello, the immediate past Secretary to the Lagos State Government has been carpeted for his unsavory remarks against his former boss governor Akinwunmi Ambode. Mr Bello in a widely publicized statement had charged that Mr. Ambode's administration lacked emotional intelligence and as such was a failure. But in a swift reaction Comrade Peter Ozabo, Leader of the Abuja Patriotic Front (APF) lashed at Mr Bello for allowing himself to be used against his former boss. He described Mr. Bello as the 'inside mole" behind the former governor's travails. Comrade Ozabo argued that Bello ought to have honorably resigned his post if he had such grudges rather than cling on. Comrade Ozabo reminded the former SSG that he has been in government since Senator Bola Tinubu days with nothing to show except his enormous wealth pointing out that he should look more at himself rather than criticize others. . Comrade Ozabo went on to heap praises on Mr. Ambode for tolerating people like Mr. Bello who secretly undermined his programmes and activities . The Comrade warned the new Lagos State Governor to be wary of people like the former SSG insisting that they could still 'find their way' back to government. Said Comrade Ozabo: "What is paramount in any setting be it democratic, military or social, is trust and loyalty."

Sahara Reporters, Premium Times, The Cable and Modern Journalism

But the entrance of Sahara Reporters appears to deviate from those widely held pragmatic principles of decency.

They taught the tenets of practical journalism exhaustively and left no stone unturned. They made journalism so sweet that students were always hungry to learn more; the thrills were such that even the 13 points cut-off mark for entry ...
