Former Vice President and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar has said that the death of veteran broadcaster, Malam Mahmoon Baba-Ahmed, has robbed Nigerian journalism of a first class and courageous journalist.
In a condolence message today, Friday, Atiku recalled that Baba-Ahmed’s political reporting during the Second Republic was one of finest moments of his journalistic career.
According to Atiku, the late broadcaster impressed many radio listeners with his courage to ask politicians tough questions, adding that such a fearless journalist should be a pride to the society.
Atiku, who is the Waziri of Adamawa, extended his condolences to the management of Liberty TV/Radio, Blueprint Newspapers and the Baba-Ahmed family over the loss. [myad]
