We (Viewers Corner News team) are encouraging journalists in Nigeria not to be intimidated by those in power as long as they publish the truth for the world to see. Some governors in Nigeria are using their power to intimidate journalists in the country. Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state (Nigeria) is one of those governors. He is using his power as a governor to intimidate journalists in his state (Ebonyi state). If a journalist publishes an article against you, the best thing to do as a democratic leader is to take the journalist to a court of law where he can prove his case. That is how democracy works but intimidating him because you have the power to do so is very wrong. We (Viewers Corner News team) want governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state to understand that the seat he is occupying at the moment will not be forever. What he is doing to journalists in his state will definitely get back to him, this is the reality of life. If a journalist criticises your government and you use your power as a governor to intimidate the said journalist, then democracy in your state (Ebonyi state) is in trouble. Again, you (governor David Umahi) should not have contested for an elective office in the first place if you are scared of being criticised. It was also alleged that governor David Umahi of Ebonyi state is a very corrupt man but covers his tracks so that no one would see his wrongdoings and anyone who speaks about it would be arrested.
