Buhari orders re-issuance of Villa Press Pass to Deutsche Welle correspondent

By -


President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday ordered the re-issuance of Presidential Villa Press Pass to Deutsche Welle correspondent, Mallam Ubale Musa, who was expelled from villa by the previous administration.
Musa lost his accreditation at the Abuja event for asking a question deemed "inappropriate" of a state guest. At the press conference on Monday, May 11, 2015 the journalist raised critical questions about Chad and Nigeria's armed forces - part of a "Multinational Joint Task Force" aimed at opposing the terror group Boko Haram. Although Deby answered many of the questions and also expressed criticism of the Nigerian army in doing so, Nigerian security forces removed the DW reporter from the venue and revoked his accreditation for the State House, the seat of the president.


The Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Mr Femi Adesina, disclosed this while presenting the re-issued villa press pass to Musa at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Adesina said that Musa’s re-accreditation as a State House correspondent was in keeping with Buhari’s commitment to correct the wrongs of the past.

“Part of the change promised by President Buhari is correcting things that were wrongly done before.

“Mr Ubale Musa’s accreditation was wrongly withdrawn. To redress the wrong done to him by the withdrawal, we have returned his Villa Press Pass to him so that he can continue his work without hindrance,’’ he said.

In his remarks after receiving his Villa Press Pass, Musa thanked the President and his media team for restoring his accreditation.

He promised that he would continue to do his work as a State House Correspondent objectively, professionally and with due regards to the ethics of journalism.(NAN)
