The adage that says “he
who pays the piper dictates the tune” is actually playing out in the latest series
of media attacks against the Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.
Anyone who has kept
track of Sahara Reporters’ reports on Saraki in the past will agree with me
that when Saraki was the governor of Kwara State and after he left, Sahara
Reporters never saw anything wrong with his leadership. In fact, most of the
stories from Sahara Reporters were extremely balanced as they even cautioned
other media organizations who publish stories without adequate investigations.
Its stories were well balanced and objective as it encouraged the journalistic
principle of truth and fairness. But today, Sahara Reporters has been bereft of
such alluring principles it once stood for and now working for its paymasters
who are dictating the tunes of its stories against perceived political rivals
and enemies.
Most Nigerians now
doubts stories published on Sahara Reporters’ site www.saharareporters.com as they try
to confirm such stories from more reliable sources before they consider them as
reliable. Sahara has now delved into reporting stories in controversial ways,
blackmails and playing by those who pay the publisher Omoyele Sowore to dictate
the tune of the stories that are published against Saraki and others.
When Saraki was the Vice
Chairman to Senator Ahmed Makarfi on the Senate’s Finance Committee in the 7th
Senate, neither did he connived with Mrs Diezani Alison-Madueke nor absolved
her of all the alleged missing $20 billion. The same Sahara Reporters that
reported in 2014 that Saraki did not sign the report exonerating Diezani
published a story recently titled: “Before Saraki Forgets” accusing Saraki that
he connived with Diezani and absolved her of all the alleged missing $20
billion.
The story Sahara
published in 2014 that Saraki did not sign the report is on:
Just like I wrote in
one of my articles titled: “Saraki: A victim of Circumstances”, Saraki’s
emergence as the Senate President against the wish of some APC elites is the backbone
of the recent series of sponsored media attacks on Saraki. Since Ahmed Bola
Tinubu is an ardent anti-Saraki, many believe he could be one of those behind
these media attacks against Saraki who emerged the Senate President against his
preferred candidate Senator Ahmed lawan.
Sahara Reporters has
also published so many controversial stories against President Muhammadu Buhari
and many still believe that Tinubu could be behind all of these stories both
against Saraki and Buhari.
Here are some Sahara Reporters’ controversial
stories against Buhari:
“Buhari’s First Day Back On Duty A Loud Disappoint
Disappointment, Concerned Aso Rock Sources Say”. www.saharareporters.com/2017/
“Buhari Suffer Speech Impairment In London” www.saharareporters.com/2017/
Sahara has reported on
several occasions that Buhari cannot rule Nigeria again under his present
health condition and made Nigerians to believe that Buhari could not even talk
as his speech impairment was extremely critical.
Anyone who will visit
and read stories on www.saharareporters.com
about Buhari will see that those against Buhari are sponsoring Sahara Reporters
to publish stories that would make Nigerians believe that Buhari cannot rule
Nigeria again and lead protest calling for his impeachment or resignation.
Another fake news by
Sahara Reporters is obvious in its story against Senator Dino Melaye that he
never graduated from Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria and that the certificate
he has in the name of ABU was forged.
One of its stories
against Dino can be found on:
“ABU Whistleblowers Contradict
VC, Insist Dino Melaye Did Not Graduate” www.saharareporters.com/2017/
Ikenga Chronicles, an
online media platform also confirms Sahara Reporters engages in blackmails and
fake news in one of its articles written by Lekan Fatodu titled: “Sahara
Reporters: Blackmail and Fake News”. This article can be found on: www.ikengachronicles.com/
All these have are
evidences that Sahara Reporters is being sponsored by paymasters to attack not
just Saraki but anyone standing on their way. This is extremely unprofessional
as the ethics of Journalism uphold the principles of objectivity, truth,
fairness and balanced reportage among others.
Sahara Reporters should
therefore desist from this recent show of unprofessionalism and media attacks against
Saraki and others who are perceived enemies of their paymasters because more
and more Nigerians are everyday becoming conscious of the blackmails and fake
news of Sahara Reporters which is gradually draining the faith and trust they
once had in it.
