The Nigeria Union Journalists, NUJ and the Nigerian Guild of Editors, NGE have cautioned politicians against politics of destruction ahead of the 2023 general polls.
The unions gave the warning in Lagos, at an investiture by the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria, CRAN in honour of Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state.
The NUJ National President Chris Isiguzo and the President, NGE Mustapha Isa, commended Bello, for turning the security situation in Kogi state around for good. They also stressed that those bent on undermining winning strategies to score political points should not play with the lives of Nigerians.
Isiguzo added that Bello was doing wonderfully well in the area of security, stressing that politicians should not undermine his strategy all in the name of politics.
On his part, the NGE president said politics should not mix with the issue of security when talking about the security challenges in the country, some governors join the unions in lamenting, they run to Abuja looking for support.
