Kaduna State Governor Uba Sani has issued a caution to journalists regarding politicians whom he refers to as 'latter-day activists.' During a Ramadan breaking of fast event, he expressed concerns that these individuals are attempting to undermine Nigeria's democratic processes for their political gain. Sani pointed out that many politicians adopt activist stances only when state policies do not align with their interests, thereby posing a risk to the integrity of democracy in the country.

The governor highlighted the crucial role that journalists have historically played in Nigeria's fight for democracy, urging them to remain alert against potential manipulation by these politicians. He emphasized that journalists should be vigilant and resist any efforts to sway public opinion or destabilize the democratic order. Sani's remarks come in a context where political maneuvering has increasingly intertwined with issues of activism, leading to a complicated landscape for both media professionals and political figures.

By reminding journalists of their vital contributions to democracy, especially during Nigeria's past struggles for freedom, Sani calls for a renewed commitment to ethical journalism. He encourages the press to uphold the principles that guided their predecessors, aiming to preserve the democratization journey that has been hard-won through sacrifice and dedication.
