President #GoodluckJonathan has asked a “special favour” from Nigeria’s media owners. He wants them to generously deploy their newspapers, magazines, radio and television to back his new project of “writing” a brand new constitution for Nigeria, reliable presidency sources and associates of some of the media proprietors have told PREMIUM TIMES.

At the April 10 discreet meeting, held at the Banquet Hall of the State House, President Jonathan, our sources said, laid bare his strong desire to “write” a constitution for the country and begged his media owners guests to help him bring the project to fruition.

“From the way he spoke, you could see that he is desperate to produce a new constitution for this country,” a source with deep knowledge of the meeting said. “He knows the media can shoot the project down. So he tried to get the media owners to his side so they can help censor reporting critical of the project while also helping to mount aggressive campaigns in their various platform in support of the project.”
