The group regrets despite the loss of lives recorded,  President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to address the nation.

While calling on citizens to exercise restraint and embrace dialogue,” we urge President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately address the nation and call for a halt on the destructions of Lives and property.

“Mr. President, please act now to forestall our country from drifting to full blown war and anarchy,” the media owners stated.

Alh.  Ahmed Tijjani Ramalan, Chairman, Northern Broadcast Media Owners Association (NBMOA) in a statement  said they were ” equally concerned on the connotations of the crisis and unguarded utterances by both citizens, political actors, eminent personalities on the desirability of protests and demands for reforms of the Nigerian Police and mode of Governance.

“As a responsible Media Owners’ group, NBMOA reiterates it’s resolve not avail it’s platforms to few questionable elements with ulterior motives to undermine the unity of this nation under any guise.

“The Unity of Nigeria and it’s people, must be maintained and those with parochial intentions to disunite our people will not have a space in our platforms.

“We would remain resolute to the tenants of democracy and fundamental principles of freedom of speech and continue to champion the cause for Good Governance and accountability through our news reports and programming to heal the wounds of mistrust amongst all ethnic Nationalities in Nigeria.

“We urge all media practitioners to set aside all bias comments, editorials and reportage that would further threaten our hard earned Independence from colonial rule and democracy,” Ramalan urges.
