<p>A 32-year young media and communication researcher released three books about legal frameworks for political expressions, media regulation and political campaign strategies and tactics. The books are also the first-ever textbooks that talk about Sojojin Baka, a group of political radio actors that are mostly paid to use radio to promote or oppose and sometimes attack the personal privacy of political and non-political actors or share false information in favour of their clients. Sojojin Baka are predominantly found in Kano and some Hausa-speaking northern states.</p><div class="b1JyfCKx" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>The main aim of these books is to promote political information and media literacy, sanitise our political expression and promote creativity and professionalism in the production and distribution of political news and advertising. The key message of the books is that campaigns should be issue-based not character assassination and political opposition does not mean bitterness and sabotage.</p>
