From what I know of this class of 2023 media moguls, I can promise we shall observe decorum, good conduct and a huge dose of civility in line with the Ashiwaju Tinubu/Kashim Shettima philosophy.

The very careful, deliberate and definitive assemblage of some of the finest, some of the most cerebral and some of the most audacious yet most civil temperate hands in Nigeria’s journalistic eco-system is barometer to measure and evaluate the seriousness and importance the All Progressive Congress Presidential Council, the National Working Committee and indeed the party attaches to the Electioneering campaign imminent upon us.
The extent to which print, electronic media have grown exponentially along with the unmistakable impact the media has globally on electioneering, the electoral process and it’s outcomes did not escape the attention of the APC Presidenial candidate Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate Sen Kashim Shettima in putting this armada together in readiness for the 5-month- long battle ahead.
From the indefatigable editor and former Managing Director of Nigeria’s News Agency Bayo Onanuga to the irrepressible Senior Advocate of Nigeria Festus Keyamo, to the unflappable and audacious Femi Fani-Kayode to the unparalleled resourceful broadcaster Danladi Bako, the All Progressive Congress leadership couldn’t have made better choices for the task ahead.
Add “General Overseer” Dele Alake and Blueprint newspaper’s Mohammed Idris to the mix and the die is cast. Along with this super – cast is a motley crowd of seasoned columnists like Sam Omatseye and ace broadcaster Babajide Kola Otitoju who by conviviality are affiliate somehow to this stellar group of APC Media team whose support and inputs will always come in handy.
From what I know of this class of 2023 media moguls, I can promise we shall observe decorum, good conduct and a huge dose of civility in line with the Ashiwaju Tinubu/Kashim Shettima philosophy.
Without doubt this team has not only the capacity, capability and character to drive the media agenda of the Tinubu/ Shettima campaign but also to win the presidential ballot convincingly. I daresay, on my part the target will be to run a media campaign so well that the general voting public as well as members of the other contesting political parties will vote for the APC candidate as we saw in the last United States that many Republicans on election day voted for a Democratic party candidate Joe Biden!
Let the race begin!
