The NUJ emphasized that issue-driven campaigns would enable voters to make informed decisions while promoting peaceful elections and strengthening Nigeria’s democratic process.
The council also appealed to political supporters to conduct themselves responsibly throughout the electioneering period and avoid actions capable of inciting violence or disrupting public order.
It further encouraged journalists to uphold the ethics of the profession by ensuring balanced, factual, and responsible reporting before, during, and after the elections.
The call comes amid growing political activities across the country ahead of the 2027 polls, with stakeholders advocating peaceful participation and greater civic engagement.
