Nigerians have been confident that their optimism on the emergence of a better Nigeria isn’t always in any manner misplaced. This was contained in a Christmas message from the Association of Online Media Practitioners of Nigeria, AMPON. In the assertion, signed on behalf of its Chairman, Wole Arisekola by the Acting Secretary, Olugbenga Bada, the Association urged the Federal Government to mirror at the Christmas season and provide Nigerians with the kind of selfless leadership that Christ exemplified. “What Nigerians need from the government in any respect stages is selfless leadership as exemplified by Jesus Christ, who loved his friends so much that he gave his existence for them”. The declaration also examine in part; “our leaders need to use the cease of the year as a length of introspection. The identical court docket orders that couldn’t be obeyed for reasons acknowledged to the Major General Buhari management were sooner or later obeyed after the USA waded in. Sadly, slightly days before then, Major General Buhari’s handlers had given reasons for now not obeying the order and had long gone as far as reminding the USA Government that it has no longer been formally appointed ‘policeman of the world’. While it is shameful that the authorities refused to yield to the cries of Nigerians to obey the judiciary, which is the final hope of the common man, it is even greater painful that it took most effective a letter from the United States to alternate the situation and secure the discharge of Col. Sambo Dasuki after four years in detention”. The statement went in addition that “if we don’t give up and we together demand for our rights, Nigeria will finally come to be a higher region and now not most effective do we have the ears of our leaders, we will sooner or later have a government we can without a doubt be proud of”. Lending its voice to the debate at the ‘Social Media Bill’, the Association defined it as a ploy to gag the media. “Let it be regarded that AMPON will be part of Nigerians to resist each flow to gag the media and subtly cast off the liberty of the press. Nigerians have the proper to express themselves and no government might be allowed to take that far from them”.
