Rivers State Deputy Governor Dr. (Mrs.) Ipalibo Harry Banigo has urged the Nigeria Guild of Editors to be objective while telling the story of Rivers State.
She said media hype of insecurity in the State by some section of the press is worrisome and is seen as a political witch-hunt by right thinking Rivers People.
Quoting John Adams, the Second President of the United States of America “Facts are stubborn things and whatever may be our wishes, inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the State of facts and evidence”
Dr. Banigo said when telling the Rivers Story facts must be sacred, stressing that most times negative stories concerning the State are blown out of proportion, noting that as gate keepers it behoves on them to maintain a balance.
She urged them to take time off their busy schedule and enjoy the traditional Rivers hospitality
