This outburst and threat of violence or life ban is a very unnecessary one from the governor.

We are in a democracy and there are legitimate means of bringing errant journalists to book if proven that they reported falsehood.

DanseMacabre:
To be honest this is a rather counterproductive measure.

Why not just ban the individual journalist/s who infringed on whatever anti-free speech laws existing in your state, than banning the whole publication?

Gov Umahi is intolerant of dissenting views & it's unfortunate. He would be a disaster as the nation's president come 2023.

kaluxy007:
Mumu!!!

2terms is all you've got...even after leaving that house, can you boast of eternity

Lagosfinder:
When journalist abuse their position
This kind of things happen

LowerPriceData0:
You ban him for life, are you going to be Governor for life? People always forget that nothing is permanent in life. Another Government will allow them when leave.

Please oh, when did governors or even presidents have the right to arrest a journalist in a democracy?
And why threatening them with violence because you don't like what they reported about.
Are we really practicing democracy in this country sef?

solmus:
Vanguard chief editor openly called a tribe Sophisticated slowpoke and he got hailed, Now that Umahi decided to fight them back for fake bigoted news I hope they don't cry for public sympathy

Corrinthians:
Great move Umahi. You're now acting like Wike, just what pdp supporters relish.

They say Wike is as bold as Kanu for being dictatorial, so I'd like to believe they'd also adore you for this great move.

Mr.Governor, the best you can do is to ban them during your tenure, after our tenure your successor may choose to make them SSA Media or Commissioner of Information. Do you have control over what happen after our tenure. Please control your anger no matter the level of provocation.

BuddhaPalm:
Haha, this how IPOB will ban journalists.

I thought President Buhari was the gag-the-press authoritarian.

Okoroawusa:
If I am Umahi I go vex pass like this sef. If Ebonyi n Ebonyi people suffer discrimination in the hands of their fellow igbos who see them as uncouth, uncivilized n unread, the press will still demarket them in the eyes of the nation. It's not fair!!
