The Sokoto State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has cautioned members of the pen profession to ensure accuracy, objectivity and balanced reportage throughout the 2023 elections.
A statement signed by the state council Chairman, Dalhatu Abdullahi Safiyal Magori strongly warned members against bias or partisanship at the expense of objectivity, describing such as unethical in election coverage.
He charged members to put in their best in line with professional ethics and, as well as see national interest and security as watch word especially at this time that Nigerians go to polls to elect new leaders.
Dalhatu Abdullahi noted that journalists should see themselves as responsible citizens and contribute toward maintaining peace, unity and national cohesion among all Nigerians.
Safiyal Magori said the stand of the union is that any member who embraces partisan politics is on his own.
