Buhari meets Decree 4 victim, Tunde Thompson

The President-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday met with Tunde Thompson, one of the journalists jailed for violating Decree 4 in 1984, when he was a military Head of State.

Buhari met with him when he hosted members of his Media Team and Social Media Influencers at the Defence House, Abuja, on Tuesday.

The President-elect cracked jokes with Thompson and praised him for rising above his jail experience to forgive and support his presidential bid.

He reminded Thompson, who is a member of his media team, that what happened under his military regime, was one of the challenges of that period.

Buhari also applauded his campaign media team led by Mallam Garba Shehu, for running “a very decent media campaign” despite the hate campaigns mounted against him by the Peoples Democratic Party.”
