Senator Kawu Calls for Ethical Standards in Kano Media

Senator Sulaiman Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila, representing Kano South Senatorial District, called on local radio stations in Kano State to maintain professional ethics and refrain from character assassination and political slander. This appeal was made during a session with the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Kano.

Kawu criticized politicians who treat elections as a “do-or-die” affair, resorting to unsubstantiated allegations against opponents. He emphasized the media's role in fostering constructive political discourse and holding public officials accountable.

Kawu also urged Nigerians to recognize the achievements of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's administration and detailed his legislative contributions since taking office in 2023, which include over 103 projects across sectors like education, healthcare, and agriculture. He identified weak oversight as a challenge for the National Assembly and criticized the media for inadequate investigative reporting.

Kawu encouraged scrutiny of his performance and legislative agenda, which he presented to constituents on 10 October 2022.
