Gen.Muhammadu Buhari
dramatically met with Mr Tunde Thompson on Tuesday 5th May , a
journalist he jailed under the Decree 4 in 1984 when he was a military ruler.
Unbelievably, Thompson
was actually a member of the media team of APC presidential campaign organization
that coordinated the media programmes of Buhari in the march 28th
election, which Buhari won.
Buhari showered
praises on the entire media team at the Defence House, in Abuja and especially for
Tunde Thompson who despite beign jailed, still supports him to win the recently
conducted presidential election.
He said,”I want to
commend you especially for two things. First, is the decent media campaign you
conducted. Despite the PDP`s dirty tactics, you stayed focused on issues and
avoided the temptation to sling mud.”
“I thank you for
your uncommon motivation to do the work. Despite the shoestring budget on which
we ran our APC campaign, you did not allow the lack of adequate remuneration to
stall the work at any point in time. You continued to give your best.”
“We must commend
Nigerians who believe in our message of change and INEC for introducing card
readers and PVC. All elected leaders, will now know that the voter is the king.
Nigerians now have more faith in our elections because their votes count.”
“If not for PVCs
and card readers, the PDP as usual would have written the results and asked
losers to go to court. How can people who are struggling to survive go to court
and get money to pay the SANs of this world. We must thank God for the success
of this election.”
Hmmm..the irony of
life indeed..! what a small world we live in..lol
