The Edo State Council of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) has issued a statement refuting allegations of receiving ₦100 million from the Edo State Government in relation to the Edo South Senatorial District primaries. The council characterized the claim as false, malicious, and defamatory, and has demanded a retraction and public apology from the online platform that published the allegations. The NUJ has set a 48-hour deadline for compliance, threatening legal action should the platform fail to respond appropriately. This development underscores the council's commitment to maintaining its integrity and reputation in the face of what it deems baseless accusations.
