President-elect
General Muhammadu Buhari has met with Mr
Tunde Thompson, one of the journalists jailed for disobeying Decree Number 4
during his administration in 1984, a policy many believed was against the
freedom of speech.
That
was then, both men met at a media parley the president elect had with his media
campaign team in Abuja yesterday May 5th.
Mr
Thompson now works with Gen Buhari's media team. Gen Buhari told him that
jailing him, at that time was one of the challenges of his administration then.
He appreciated his media team for carrying out a decent campaign for him during
the election
"I want to commend you especially for two things. First, is the decent media campaign you conducted despite the PDP’s dirty tactics, you stayed focused on issues and avoided the temptation to sling mud. I thank you for your uncommon motivation to do the work. Despite the lean budget on which we ran our campaign, you did not allow the lack of adequate remuneration to stall the work at any point in time. You continued to give your best"he said
