As Osun state is going into political period, the Olowu of Kuta, Oba Hammed Adekunle Makama Oyelude CON, has called on the media organization to ensure every side is given fair hearing in their reportage.
Oba Oyelude made this known on Thursday while speaking with members of the Osun Online Publishers Association in Osogbo, the state capital.
The monarch, who is the Patron of the Association, reminded the media practitioners of their roles as watchdogs of the society, urging them to ensure balanced reportage of political events as they unfold.
“I want to urge you to ensure that you give all sides fair hearing. Make your platform available for them and ensure you have the love of the Osun State at hearts.
“APC, ADC, PDP and others are the same and no one has bigger love of the masses at heart than you and you must ensure you have the people as the bedrock of your reports. You are the watchdogs of the society and must remain so.”
The monarch commended the publishers for the refreshers course, describing it as a necessity for development.
