Veteran journalist, Sonala Olumhense has stopped the publication of his weekly syndicated column in The Guardian.
The column now runs in Sunday Punch from March 13, 2016.
In a second short piece titled “I turn the page” published in the March 13 edition, Olumhense announced that he has parted ways with The Guardian due to philosophical differences.
The full text of the announcement follows:
“If you are reading this story in SUNDAY PUNCH you did not buy the wrong newspaper: I hereby announce that I parted company with The Guardian at the end of February. I will now write for this organisation along with Media Trust, as principal publishers of this column.
“I leave behind at The Guardian, where I was on the pioneer staff in 1983, wonderful memories and friends. As an organisation, however, we had grown apart philosophically. Our relationship spanned February 1983 to February 2016.
“I return to THE PUNCH where I began my journalism career in 1979, and wrote my first two columns. I am delighted to find the front door still open to me. I am glad to be home.”
