The Archbishop, Province of the Niger, Anglican Communion, Most Revd. Alexander Ibezim, Monday, appealed to media to help in salvaging Nigeria especially South East geopolitical zone from marginalisation and injustice.
Ibezim, who is also the Bishop of Awka Diocese (Anglican Communion), disclosed this when the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) Anambra State Council, paid a courtesy call to him at Awka, Anambra State capital, noting that the South East needs healing from untold hardship bedeviling it people due to marginalisation and bad governance.
According to him, the journalists ought to also utilised their media to salvage Nigeria from hardship, corruption, economic meltdown and maladministration by reporting projecting credible people for Nigerians to make right choice on the 2023 general elections.
"It is high time for you journalists to use your reports to salvage Nigeria from injustice and to allow peace to reign. Nigeria needs a message of healing. You need to help to salvage South East from the problem of marginalisation in the region. For instance, you can see that all institutions are shutdown today (Monday) due to every Monday sit-at-home. This unhappiness must not continue. People are no longer happy," he noted.
He also pleaded with the media to criticise the Church in a motivational way so as to make the best of them, because according to him, "When you criticise the Church in a motivational way, it makes the Church to go indoor and find out best things to do to improve the society and works of God. So, continue with good work of ecumenism by practising coercive journalism."
