El-Rufai does not hate media – Aide

He said in a case where a journalist is queried for publication of wrong report, such should not be attributed to El-rufai as a means of witch-hunt but should be seen as the duty of security agents trying to ensure law and order in the state.

The Special Assistant to the Kaduna state governor on Media and Publicity, MrSamuel Aruwan, has refuted insinuations that governor El-Rufai-led administration hates journalists in the state.

Speaking to newsmen in Kaduna, he explained that the state government and security agencies have no intention to victimize reporters, but to ensure that moral conduct was observed among media practitioners.

In an attempt to separate what he calls personal grudge from journalism practice, Aruwan said: “lt’s unfortunate that some people hide under the canopy of media to express their grievances and discontent through reportage of bias and untrue stories.”
