Shun Western False Narratives Against Russia, 2023 VP Candidate Urges Journalists
A prominent Nigerian delegate at the just concluded World Youth Festival at Kalinigrad, Russia, Dr Emmanuel Johnson Chukwuka has urged journalists to correct historical biases through research, especially ones instigated against Africa, Russia and other countries by the West.
Chukwuka who was the Vice Presidential candidate of the Action Alliance in the 2023 general elections argued that media reports should be thoroughly investigated before they are spread further, as many are false narratives enabled by Western countries against perceived enemies, especially nations like Russia which vehemently fought against Western institutions like fascism and colonialism.
He stated “Russia fought against colonialism around the world, fought against fascism, and is now ready to tell her own story. It has become necessary that we tell our own stories because if we don’t do that, nobody will do it for us. The West is not ready to tell your story for you.
“When we sit down, we —I am from Nigeria—we are the victims of what Russia has been fighting.

“Therefore, this is the important thing, that Russia is fighting. Africans are the highest victims of the West.
Russia has gained an incredible level of acceptance in Africa and over 80% of the African population are signing for Russia.
“This is the time we need a partnership that all of us will join hands together to tell our stories from the very beginning. We need to do this to help the people of our countries get the best from each other.”
