General Secretary, Dotun Oladipo; and Publicity<br \/>\nSecretary, Olumide Iyanda.<\/p>\n<p>It said not all members of OPAN can be described as professional journalists.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, it said, many of those who make up the organisation are people who<br \/>\nworked on the fringes in media houses and have taken to online journalism<br \/>\nprincipally as tool for blackmail and extortion of money.<\/p>\n<p>It said this is even reflected in the membership of the association\u2019s<br \/>\nBoard of Trustees, which is made up of a columnist with The Guardian and<br \/>\nformer Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to former President Goodluck<br \/>\nJonathan, Dr. Reuben Abati; some unknown lawyers; engineers; and Indians.<\/p>\n<p>GOCOP said the statement credited to OPAN was clearly attention seeking<br \/>\nand part of the carefully planned strategies to embarrass the current<br \/>\ngovernment and blackmail it into giving it undeserved recognition.<\/p>\n<p>It said this is more so that OPAN, especially its leadership, is made up<br \/>\nof people with questionable characters.<\/p>\n<p>The statement said: \u201cThese are people who have spent months and days in<br \/>\nKirikiri Prisons in Lagos State and the dungeon of the Department of State<br \/>\nServices for attempt to blackmail and extort money from eminent Nigerians,<br \/>\nincluding prominent businessman, Femi Otedola; and a former Governor of<br \/>\nNiger State, Dr. Babangida Aliyu.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are people who did not work for a single day as professional<br \/>\njournalists, but as marketers, personal assistants and cameramen in media<br \/>\nhouses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recalling the early days of the formation of GOCOP, the statement said the<br \/>\nleadership of the online organisation, made up of seasoned journalists,<br \/>\nwith many boasting of over 25 years experience and rising to become<br \/>\nEditors and Desk Heads of renowned newspapers, became aware of the<br \/>\n\u201cexistence\u201d of OPAN after it made moves to register with the Corporate<br \/>\nAffairs Commission.<\/p>\n<p>It recalled that a team of its officials, made up of a former President,<br \/>\nMalachy Agbo, who is now the Chairman of Igbo Etiti Local Government Area<br \/>\nof Enugu State, and Oladipo, met with the so-called President of OPAN,<br \/>\nOlufemi Awoyemi, in his office in Lagos State to see how the emerging<br \/>\ngroup could fuse into the existing one.<\/p>\n<p>However, the GOCOP group came out shell shocked with the revelations from<br \/>\nthe meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Awoyemi said OPAN was formed and registered four years before the<br \/>\nmeeting but that they had kept its existence only to the members, who were<br \/>\nless than five, with majority of them based outside the country.<\/p>\n<p>He equally gave part of the terms for fusing as the repayment of the<br \/>\nregistration fee of the association, which he said would be deducted first<br \/>\nfrom any money made by the association before members could begin to<br \/>\nbenefit financially.<br \/>\nWhen asked how much the registration fee was, Mr. Awoyemi said OPAN was<br \/>\nregistered in 2001 in the United Kingdom with \u00a365,000 (Sixty-five<br \/>\nthousand pounds).<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Mr. Agbo told Mr. Awoyemi that the emerging body was not<br \/>\nintended to be a money making association but a peer review gathering that<br \/>\nwould leverage on the experience of its members to bring sanity to online<br \/>\njournalism.<\/p>\n<p>After the meeting, OPAN members, working in concert with Mr. Abati, who<br \/>\ndeployed the powers of the Presidency, frustrated efforts to register the<br \/>\nnew body, with security agents threatening the leadership of the emerging<br \/>\nbody.<\/p>\n<p>What was most curious, according to GOCOP, was that the initial name sent<br \/>\nto the CAC, the Nigerian Online Publishers Association, was endorsed and<br \/>\ngranted registration, with the certificate of registration issued.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks after, CAC wrote NOPA claiming that it registered the<br \/>\nassociation in error as OPAN was already in existence.<\/p>\n<p>It took a long battle for CAC to agree to the name GOCOP. The name was<br \/>\neven suggested to the online publishers by CAC. And this came amid threat<br \/>\nof heading to the law court to challenge the CAC.<\/p>\n<p>It also took OPAN, which claimed it was registered in 2001, over 14 years<br \/>\nto formally launch the association.<\/p>\n<p>OPAN was launched about a month after GOCOP did its own formal launch in<br \/>\n2015, which was attended by the likes of a former Chairman of The Punch<br \/>\ntitles, Ajibola Ogunsola; the Speaker of the House of Representatives,<br \/>\nYakubu Dogara, represented the Chairman of the House Committee on<br \/>\nInformation, Abdulrasak Namdas; the Founder of Zinox, Leo Stanley Eke, who<br \/>\ndelivered the keynote address; the Director General of the Debt Management<br \/>\nOffice, Abraham Nwankwo; and Mr. Adesina.<\/p>\n<p>The statement by Messrs. Mojeed, Oladipo and Iyanda said most members of<br \/>\nGOCOP belong to the elite group of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, while<br \/>\nnone of those in OPAN qualifies to belong to any journalism association in<br \/>\nthe country, including the Nigerian Union of Journalists.<\/p>\n<p>It added: \u201cIn mentioning a Special Adviser in the Presidency in their<br \/>\nstatement, by which we know they are referring to the President\u2019s Special<br \/>\nAdviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, OPAN is only seeking to<br \/>\ndrag a man of integrity, who insisted throughout the years OPAN had the<br \/>\nbacking of Abati that the right thing be done, into a needless<br \/>\ncontroversy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no one who does not know that Mr. Adesina is a thoroughbred<br \/>\nprofessional who will not stand by impostors and never-do-goods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for the records, Adesina, being a concerned stakeholder and then<br \/>\nPresident of the Nigerian Guild of Editors, had been a strong pillar of<br \/>\nsupport for GOCOP right from its formative stage. At that time, he agreed<br \/>\nto be a member of the Board of Trustees of GOCOP. This was even when he<br \/>\nhad no inkling he was going to emerge the presidential spokesman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo also do we know that the choice of those who attended the meeting with<br \/>\nAlhaji Lai Mohammed was carefully thought through and not men of doubtful<br \/>\nstandings who have spent days and months behind bars for failed attempts<br \/>\nto blackmail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile we do not query anyone\u2019s right of association, our stand still<br \/>\nremains as an association: no person of doubtful character will be allowed<br \/>\nto be a member of GOCOP. Only thoroughbred professionals and people of<br \/>\nintegrity. Members of OPAN have a right of association, but they should<br \/>\nremain within their confines and not cast aspersion on others who have<br \/>\ndevoted their lives to making a name for themselves in journalism and are<br \/>\nprofessionals in the real sense of the word.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd thoroughbred professionals indeed abound in GOCOP, with most of the<br \/>\npublishers having worked at the highest levels in publications such as<br \/>\nThisday, Punch, Tribune, Newswatch, Tell, The News, The Nation, Nigerian<br \/>\nCompass, New Telegraph and Champion as Editors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe do not intend going beyond this for now as documents in our possession<br \/>\nwill be made available to the public on the atrocities of these charlatans<br \/>\nif they push their luck any further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur aim is to professionalise the practice of online journalism and not<br \/>\nengage in blackmail, which has given journalism a bad name in the<br \/>\ncountry.\u201d<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Guild of Corporate Online Publishers, GOCOP, on Sunday described as unfortunate and ridiculous a statement credited to members of the Online Publishers Association of Nigeria, OPAN, with respect to&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":45895,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45894","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
