April 16, 2010
In my column in The Punch on Tuesday, March 9, 2010, I left an unusual footnote, titled, “The bile this time.” It was a subdued response to the wild allegations against me in the 7,000-word plus petition by the former Editor of the Punch, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, who was forced to resign by the Management of the company for conduct unbecoming of his office. My restraint was not because I could not defend myself or because I was guilty.
In my column in The Punch on Tuesday, March 9, 2010, I left an unusual footnote, titled, “The bile this time.” It was a subdued response to the wild allegations against me in the 7,000-word plus petition by the former Editor of the Punch, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, who was forced to resign by the Management of the company for conduct unbecoming of his office. My restraint was not because I could not defend myself or because I was guilty.
However, I had to endure the wicked lies and fabrications against me because it was the fit and proper thing to do while the committee, set up by the Board and the company where I had worked for 21 years was trying to establish the truth.
The committee’s work is done. Its report, and that of the Management committee, done after six weeks of exhaustive investigation, which I could not have influenced in any way, did not indict me of any fraud.
The wicked lies have been out now for almost six weeks, recycled in various forms and in various media by informed, half-informed and grossly ill-informed commentators all masquerading as the guardian angels of a benighted profession. I am not writing this for the benefit of those who already think they know all and who will not let the facts get in the way of their next malicious post or article. I’m writing for the benefit of those – and thankfully there are still a number left out there – for whom fairness, balance and pursuit of truth mean a thing.
The Board Committee had the following specific terms of reference:
1. To probe advert surcharges for premium pages from 2006 to date
2. To consider any other issue in the petition in respect of which any person submits documentary evidence to the committee.
After three weeks of sitting, minus one previous of investigations by the Management of the petition, Mr. Steve Ayorinde could not produce a shred of evidence in support of his claim that I used my office to enrich myself. Or that I was on the payroll of politicians, banks and some public officials. He had two clear opportunities to do this in five weeks – first on March 8 when the company wrote him to supply evidence, and later when he appeared before the Board committee on April 3. On both occasions, he failed to substantiate his allegations. In fact, it is written that even the witnesses he cited “rebuffed” the committee; the chronicler could not muster the confidence of his own witnesses.
I voluntarily submitted my statement of account; IBTC Share Tender Form and UBA cheque number 80473333 dated September 27, 2007 in favour of Nigerian Motor Industries Limited for the sum of N1.95million with which I purchased the car that Mr. Ayorinde falsely alleged was given to me as a gift; and three-year visa pages from my international passport for the committee’s inspection. I also submitted the original copy of my passport for citing.
And the surcharge pages? In his petition, Mr. Ayorinde gave the impression that Arik Air was the only company that published adverts on the early pages without paying a surcharge. This, of course, is incorrect. I must say that the charge that I had overstretched my authorised discretion in favour of the advertiser and that I did not fully disclose my relationship with the company, is regrettable. Yet, it is important to stress that neither the report of the Management committee nor the Board committee, nor yet the Board indicted me of any fraud either about the adverts or any other allegations by Mr. Steve Ayorinde. However, there were at least 23 other adverts in 2009, including full page colour adverts by Etisalat, First Bank, Zain, Globacom and the Lagos State Government for which surcharges were not paid but which also appeared on the early pages.
In his bid to throw the kitchen sink at me, Mr. Ayorinde was obviously not concerned about who else might have been in breach. The same Steve Ayorinde who told O’Femi Kolawole, in his book, titled, The gatekeepers, published in October 2009 but released in December 2009, that, “he (Ayorinde) opted to work in the daily edition (of Punch) with the man he had come to admire as one of the best in Nigeria’s contemporary journalism, Mr. Azubuike Ishiekwene,” is now singing a different tune three months later.
* Not a word about the misconduct that led to his suspension from office for three weeks in September 2009.
* Not a word about how he had lied to the management and sneaked off to London on a sponsored, image-laundering trip and then returned to lie again to his staff that he took the punishment to save two of his line editors.
* Not a word about how falling sales almost cost him his job in December 2009.
* Not a word about how he had brought his own career in Punch to grief by shopping for by-line among his junior staff on February 16, the event which led the Management to demand his resignation.
* Not a word about the fact that he was not a first-time offender.
* Not a word.
The cocktail of lies…
a) Musikilu Mojeed’s exit from Punch:
After Mr. Ayorinde’s false allegations were published on the Internet, there was a sustained effort to keep the flames of falsehood burning. And no firewood, however, wet, was spared. Mr. Mojeed left Punch in December 2008 over a dispute he had with his editor, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, at the time. He had filed a number of stories that were not used and had taken offence that he had not been given sufficient explanation for why his stories were not published. He wrote a petition against Mr. Ayorinde and only copied me. I investigated the matter and wrote a memo to the MD/Editor-in-Chief on December 30, 2008. In the memo I agreed with Mr. Ayorinde in some areas but also suggested how the matter should be handled in future. To my utmost shock and surprise, this issue was stood on its head, lapped up by a few commentators and presented as proof that my only job in Punch was to “kill” stories. Conveniently, those behind it only published Musikilu’s memo, leaving out the subsequent memo and the report of my investigations (copy attached) which would have shown clearly that Musikilu’s grouse was against Mr Ayorinde and not me.
b) The imaginary “suspensions” from work
On Tuesday, March 9 and Wednesday, March 10, I was in the office when I received phone calls from concerned friends who said they had read on the Internet that I had been suspended. I also read it on the Internet. But I did so right at my office desk at Punch! And on March 22 when I commenced my vacation, the word was out again! Azu has been suspended! I applied for my leave and it was approved by the Management. My leave certificate, with reference number PN/PS/2005/451/134 is dated March 22, 2010. I was not on suspension and never have been in my 21 years at Punch
c) “Refund” of N17million surcharge
It is a wicked lie that Punch has asked me to refund any money. How can I refund what I have not taken? Punch has said it is interested in asking advertisers whose adverts appeared on the early pages without authorisation to pay the surcharge for such adverts. I did not receive any payments for early pages and as far as I know the request for such payments – not refund – has not yet been made to the advertisers concerned.
d) The CNN/Multichoice judging panel
I have read in some publications that I was “removed” from the CNN/Multichoice African Journalist of the Year 2010 judging panel. That is untrue. After Mr. Ayorinde’s slanderous petition appeared on the Internet on March 5, I informed the Management of Punch of my intention to discuss stepping down from the panel with the organisers. I had a telephone conversation with CNN’s Vice President for Europe, Asia and Africa, Maggie Eales on Monday, March 8. On Tuesday, March 9, I wrote a letter to CNN/Multichoice (a copy is attached) announcing my intention to step down until I have been cleared of the allegations against me. I worked with organisers to select Ikechukwu Amaechi, the Editor of the Daily Independent, as the Nigerian stand-in.
e) Azu as the axe man of Punch
This is a very convenient label, especially since 2007 when the editors started reporting directly to me. I have been in Punch for 21 years and people conveniently forget that I did not always spend that time in positions where I could influence the retention or removal of senior editorial persons. Before I became executive director three years ago, at least 12 senior editorial positions had changed for various reasons and under different circumstances all of which I had absolutely no control over. The resignations of Mr. Yusuf Alli and Mr. Yomi Odunuga, both mentioned in Mr. Ayorinde’s petition, had nothing to do with me personally, whatever they may have privately been led to believe. The decisions taken were a collective one.
f) An era ends…
More lies are spreading already, and I wish to remind the purveyors that I am not unmindful of my rights under the law. They are saying I was asked to choose between sack and resignation. I laugh. I voluntarily retired my appointment with Punch on April 15, with the support and understanding of my family and friends who have stood steadfastly with me through this trying period. I know that a few out there wished for a humiliating ending – but this gracious exit is the Lord’s doing. For weeks, I watched Punch, the company where I have worked for 21 years take a needless bashing and the names of its key officers dragged in the mud. I do not wish to do anything that would extend this grief by one day.
At 45 years of age and after a combined 10 years of editing two of Punch’s leading titles, including Saturday Punch, which remains the flagship since I had the honour to edit it, I have decided to explore other opportunities and challenges that beckon. I have read that I “resigned,” or was “dismissed” from the services of Punch. I also laugh. My exit from Punch – and the records of my letter of retirement and the company’s letter of acknowledgement show this – couldn’t have been more dignified even if I had worked in Punch for another 21 years.
An era has ended; another begins…

Internal Memo
December 30, 2008
From: The Executive Director, Publications
To: The Managing Director/Editor-in-Chief
Re: A matter of urgent concern: Chief Correspondent, Musikilu Mojeed vs. The Editor, The Punch, Steve Ayorinde
The points at issue, in my view, can be summarised as follows:
1. The reporter averred that the story on Governor Gbenga Daniel’s indictment by the EFCC, based on the commission’s interim report of February 2007 (after the investigation of complaints by three indigenes of the state against the governor) should have been published or an explanation given to him for non-publication
2. The reporter averred that since the story appears similar to an earlier one on Governor Alao Akala, non-publication could suggest a cover up
3. The reporter averred that the story was factual and libel free
4. That there had been a pattern of non-publication of a number of other investigative stories by him
The Editor, on the other hand, averred as follows:
1. That the story was neither fresh nor complete for use
2. That the decision was to “suspend” and not to “kill” the story
3. That contrary to the reporter’s claim, he “made it clear” why the story could not be used
4. That the complaint about the non-use of the story is a red herring for the reporter’s resignation
I called for – and examined the following documents:
* The original story by the reporter filed in on Dec. 10, 2008
* The complaint by the reporter dated Dec. 21, 2008
* The response of the Editor to the complaint dated Dec. 24, 2008
* The further response of the reporter dated Dec. 25, 2008
* A separate memo to me (on my request) by the Editor, dated Dec. 29
* Conversations I had with Chiawo Nwankwo between Dec 24 and 30, 2008
My comments are as follows:
1. I agree with the Editor that the story should not have been published as it was filed for the following reasons:
a) The interim report was prepared 22 months ago; the reporter should have checked with the EFCC if there have been any changes since. There was no reference at all to that in his story or to any effort made to speak with the EFCC on the current status of the report
b) The story made no mention of any possible defence by the governor or his counsel in the interim report. If the report contained no reference to what the other party said in self-defence, the reporter should have phoned the affected party his counsel or aides for the other side of the story
c) There are references to the interim report in the reporter’s story that could have been easily checked. For example, the ownership of the property in Croydon, UK could have been checked online, since the full address is provided. Also the reporter could have checked with the CCB over claims that Blue Chapel Ltd was left out of the governor’s assets declaration form. These are only two of at least four loopholes that could have been plugged by phone calls
2. Chiawo confirmed that the Editor expressed his misgivings to him about the story after it had been filed, and that he told the reporter about the editor’s comments, informally. But it appears that the reporter wanted to hear directly from the Editor. His expectation is not misplaced, especially since Chiawo told him that the Editor promised he would call him directly.
3. The reporter’s decision to attach a cheque in lieu of his notice of resignation seems to suggest that he had been thinking of leaving for sometime now. The non-publication of his story was a leeway.
4. Apart from the story about Jonathan’s wife, which the Management advised should be “suspended” for timing reasons Punch has reported the Zenith Bank/Rivers State government story more than any other major newspaper. I am not aware of any Management decision not to report the Rivers story when it first broke and did not go into the details in preparing this report.
5. Finally, I do not consider the reporter’s complaint of the non-publication of his story objectionable. On the contrary, I think it’s a demonstration of his commitment to his work.
It’s unlikely that anyone would have been able to prevent the reporter from leaving, but a more careful handling of the situation could have made it more difficult for him – and certainly saved the company the prospects of the vexatious rumours that may now follow. All senior editorial persons must avoid this in future.

2. Letter to Maggie Eales, Vice President CNN Europe, Africa and the Middle East on March 9, 2010.
I regret to announce my intention to step down from the judging panel of the CNN/Multichoice African Journalists of the Year 2010 award.
My decision is as a result of the grievous allegations made against my person by a former Editor of The Punch, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, who until his resignation on Wednesday, February 24 was one of the three editors reporting to me.
I will need time to reply the assault on my reputation by this gentleman and the matter is already before the company’s Board.
It pains me even more that this setback is coming at a time when everyone has been working round the clock to make this year’s award more excellent than the last one.
As soon as the matter is resolved I will inform CNN/Multichoice and would be pleased to serve on the panel again.
I wish you all a successful judging week and a remarkable event ahead.
Thank you.
