A malicious and completely false publication by
Sahara Reporters about a contract awarded at the Akanu Ibiam International
Airport during Princess Stella Oduah’s tenure as the Aviation Minister, has
been brought to the attention of her media team.
The Senator who represents Anambra North Senatorial
District, is quite disappointed with the manner in which a hand full of media
outlets have jettisoned their integrity and the credibility of the Nigerian
media as a whole, by publishing falsehood to deliberately mislead Nigerians and
making the only means of livelihood for Nigerian journalists, more difficult
than it already is.
The Senator refutes all allegations made by Sahara
Reporters on said contract.
Stella Oduah states categorically for the record,
that the contract was awarded by her predecessor and challenges the online
medium to provide evidence if it has any, to counter this.
Senator Stella Oduah, a serving member of the
Senate Committee on Aviation, wishes to use this opportunity to urge serious
and credible media houses to strive, no matter how hard, to apply due
diligence, run thorough fact checks, before going to print, to save Nigeria and
Nigerians from ill-intentioned publications such as this, from Sahara Reporters.
