The former President said that the media can shape how Nigerians behave, stressing that they should put in more deliberate efforts so that they would be able to change the Nigerian narrative.

“You can only do this through objective reportage and I like the debate that is ongoing in the media, it is giving the people the insight that they need to see. What the media is doing now is very good.”
