He said: \u201cYou can see that already happening, who has been pressured? Which broadcast station has been pressured? Which newspaper house has been pressured?<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody will be pressured, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is a democrat as you know and he is a product of communication because he has relied over the years on the media to also shape him as he is. So, why would he now come back and say \u2018do it this way\u2019?<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody has been pressured and there is no intention whatever to do that. We believe you allow people to say things the way they are provided that what they have said is also absolutely true. Truthfulness, honesty, and responsibility in government communication is two-way.\u201d<\/p>\n
