In a recent statement on his X account, Shehu Sani lauded Daily Trust as a credible newspaper that has weathered political storms for over two decades.
He emphasized that while they have never claimed infallibility, the publication’s recent controversial story generated significant heat due to its sensitivity and the paper’s strong credibility and following.
Sani highlighted that other media outlets could publish similar stories without causing a stir.
Praising Daily Trust’s professionalism, he noted that their retraction of the story upon discovering ‘lapses’ demonstrates responsibility.
Sani urged the paper to continue holding the government accountable, calling for the matter to be seen as an honest mistake and laid to rest.
