Atiku Atiku

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar has hailed members of the fourth estate on World Press Freedom Day.

Making a case for journalists, the PDP Chieftain emphasized the need for information to be passed to them.

He also stressed that the press had the right to hold government accountable and that right must not be toiled with.

"Whatever happens, we must never lose track that citizens have a right to know and that the press has been constitutionally empowered to be the watchdog. That right to hold government and its institutions accountable must never be compromised or impeded," Atiku tweeted.
