“They said a journalist must be non-partisan (unbiased and fair). So, I resigned my position with Silverbird TV to throw my full support on Peter Obi,” she said.
“After the elections next year, I’ll apply for a media job maybe with Channels TV or ARISE TV or start up my business.
“We must get it right. Please this is not a campaign.”
