He said, "I appeal to politicians and all Nigerians to
always put Nigeria first. I appeal to them to forget their differences when
issues of security or Nigeria are at stake. Don’t play politics with security.
“Perhaps our politicians can learn some lessons from
America. Whenever there is an election, they identify themselves as Republicans
and Democrats.
“As soon as election is over, they identify themselves as
Americans. I understand that politicians will always be politicians, but
politics should not be destructive."
The Convener, Kolawole, who said the online media is
targeted at becoming Africa's no 1 online newspaper interms of influence,
content and traffic, added that their mandate is to deliver knowledge-driven
journalism in the pursuit of Nigeria's progress.
