“Our country is presently battling with a lot of challenges, and topping the list is insecurity. As journalists, we need to use all the instruments at our disposal to help the government in addressing this.”

“As the 2023 general election approaches gradually, you must not allow politicians to use you irresponsibly or callously to fulfil their political ambition or interest at the detriment of the overall interest of our dear country,” he said. “We must not allow ourselves to be used as an instrument for division and violence,” Hon. Peller added.

In the same vein, the federal legislator acknowledged the pivotal role Comrade Adewunmi Faniran played in bringing up the annual Shina Peller NUJ Ramadan Lecture/Iftar, adding that it started with him three years ago, and that he (Hon. Peller) will continue to do everything within his capacity to ensure that the program doesn’t go into extinction.

Earlier in his opening speech, the chairman of the Oyo State Council of the NUJ, Comrade Ismail Ademola Babalola, commended Hon. Peller for taking it upon himself to be the sole sponsor of the annual NUJ Ramadan programme. The chairman also added that Hon. Peller has been sponsoring the programme prior to his being elected as a member of the House of Representatives.
