Editors elect Anaba president, Tinubu impressed with poll conduct
Editor of Vanguard newspapers, Eze Anaba, was on Saturday elected the new president of the Nigerian Guild of Editors at the union’s National Biennial Convention in Owerri, Imo State.
President Bola Tinubu says the NGE has sent a great message to the nation that elections can be conducted without malice and bitterness.
Tinubu said the conduct of the election had shown that the country could imbibe a sustainable and democratic culture.
This is contained in a congratulatory message issued by Dele Alake, presidential special adviser on special duties, communications and strategy.
The President said, “By its peaceful and rancor-free conduct of elections to elect its new officers, the NGE has sent a resounding message to the larger Nigerian polity that elections for desired offices can be intensely competed for without degenerating into bitterness, acrimony and needless malice.”
“This is a light that the NGE is showing that the rest of us may find the way to a mature, tolerant, stable and sustainable democratic culture,” he added.
