Emmanuel Odibo |
PDP governorship candidate in the 2023 Imo State governorship election Senator Samuel Anyanwu has commiserated with journalists over the death of Mr. Emmanuel Odibo, a renowned journalist and erstwhile Vice Chairman of Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ), Imo State Council describing him as a dedicated news hunter.
Anyanwu therefore urges all journalists in Imo State and Nigeria in general not to mourn the departed media guru as people without faith, adding that late Odibo's legacies in the profession should serve as respite to them to have faith in God.
According to Anyanwu, who is also PDP's National Secretary, late Odibo was a devout professional journalist, profound gentleman and refined administrator who displayed professional knack in journalism profession.
"Odibo was not vindictive, not interested in yellow or exploitative journalism as Editor of Announcer Express Newspapers but dedicated his life to the service of the humanity and the society. His wealth of experience and unbiased quest in investigative Journalism and balanced reportage encouraged many to have confidence in the profession", Anyanwu said in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Ikenna Onuoha
While sympathizing with the entire members of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) for the loss, he therefore prays God to accept his soul and other faithful departed in his bosom.
