NBC Query To Channels TV: Yakassai Urges NUJ, NGE To Speak Out by nairavsdollars(f): 9:54pm On Aug 26, 2021
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos
 
Elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai on Thursday charged the various media bodies in the country such as the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) to speak out on the alleged attempts by the Federal Government to gag the media.

The National Broadcasting Commission had on Thursday queried private broadcast station, Channels Television over the “inciting, divisive and unfair comments” made by Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom, on the TV’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast programme on Tuesday.

It was also gathered that the commission is not comfortable with an interview granted by a former Navy Commodore, Kunle Olawunmi, who alleged that current members of the Buhari cabinet are Boko Haram sponsors.

The Commission has since summoned anchors of the programme who honoured the invitation and are at the NBC office in Abuja.

The NBC, in a letter to the television station titled, ‘Notice of Infraction’, said, “The programme which had as guest the Executive Governor of Benue State, Governor Samuel Ortom, was observed to contain inciting, divisive and unfair comments which were not thoroughly interrogated by the anchors.”

The regulator’s letter was dated August 24, 2021, and signed by its Director-General, Balarabe Ilelah.

It said the actions allegedly negated Sections 1.10.4, 3.1.1, 3.3.1(b), 3.3.1(e), 3.11.1(a), and 3.12.2 of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code.

“Consequently, Channels Television is required to explain why appropriate sanctions should not be applied for these infractions of the Nigeria Broadcasting Code. Your response should reach the Commission within 24 hours of the receipt of this letter,” the NBC said.

However, speaking in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Yakassai, a former presidential adviser to the late President Shehu Shagari said the silence of the various media bodies in the country over the issue is unacceptable.

“I will not comment on this matter. Why can’t the media complain? Why are your bodies silent on these issues? You have the Nigerian Union of Journalists and Guild of Editors, what are they doing about this? I think they owe it a duty to speak out” he said.

Hehehe.

Everybody is afraid of the emperor at Abuja.

Who says karma doesn't exist is laying.

We Nigerian's are paying heavily for removing a man of peace.

We want a warrior, soldier and a retired combatant to come and combat all our problem.
We called him ineffectual buffoon,drunkard and a woman but he did nothing. All the comedians made fortune insulting him and his wife,yet he did nothing.

Nigerian's turned protest into carnivals but he did nothing. The press were at their elements, granting interviews to the so called agents of change who come on line daily to insult the president and he did nothing.

Today we all have seen the difference between a man and a woman.

Buhari's infamous decree 4 is gradually finding it's way back. He has not only stifled press freedom but gradually muscled freedom of speech and the annoying thing is that the press that used to be so resilient even in times of draconian military regimes has suddenly gone soft. Truly, whatever Buhari cannot destroy does not exist.

Nobody wants to speak out, nobody wants to be seen as an enemy of the state, but everybody wants to be friends with the real enemies of the state to gain favour. The power holders want all the stations in Nigeria as impotent as NTA. We are going no where with this.

Impostor Muhammadu Buhari reportedly orders NBC
to go after Channels Television licence to be suspended by the federal Govt of Nigeria over interview of Gov. Ortom and Retired Naval Commodore Kunle Olawunmi

Reportedly Ordered for the arrest of Chamberlain Usoh, Co-Host on Sunrise Daily and his colleagues, anchors of the program at Channels.

Below is the interview-

#On_Channels_Tv_Sunrise_Daily_NDA_Attack

Commodore Olakunle Olawunmi (A military intelligence veteran with 35 years experience) is spilled it all and says he doesn't care if he is killed.

"I belong to a group in the Military that's not supposed to be seen or heard. Right now, I don't care if I am eliminated"Kunle Olawunmi
Prof of Global Security Studies.

1. Some Governors, ministers and Senators are sponsors of Boko Haram and the Government knows them.

2. Bureau De Change operators are also sponsors of Boko Haram which is also known.

3. Another security breach is that every Friday NDA and all government institutions are opened for Jumat prayers. They come on Friday for worship. Later they become members of the mess who will later spy on the institution and plan their attack.

4. This government does not want to resolve this problem, rather they are escalating it.

5. The solution is not Kinetic solution but non kinetic.You identified the center of gravity, which had been identified. The center of gravity is the sponsors of Boko Haram and Bandits.

6. Most of these sponsors are known within the intelligence community.

7. The DMI, DSS and Police intelligence knows the sponsors very well.The DSS knows very well with tons of files of those sponsoring evil in this country.

8. The defense headquarters knows all those who are behind the terror going on in Nigeria today.

9. The commander in chief knows exactly what is happening but he is quite. When a fish is about to get rotten, the head is the first.

10. The end game is to turn Nigeria into Taliban type of Country. Everyone in the Defense HQ, Army HQ, Naval HQ, and Airforce HQ.

11. The government of Dubai knows the sponsors and they sent lists to the federal government. What did Buhari do?

12. A highly ranked member of this government was interrogated and was found culpable. He is currently a highly rated member of this government.

13. This government wants the government to be islamized.Thats the truth.

14. We are currently in the worst security situation in Nigeria today. CIA actually didn't trust Buhari before 2015. It took the intelligence community and Tinubu to convince Obama and CIA to accept him. They said he was a bigot and will plunge the country.

15. According to Naval Commander Kunle Olawunmi a Prof of Global Security Studies, he said the government directed that all media should be calling them Bandits and unknown gun men so that the international community will be mislead that they are not terrorist.

16. Tagging them Terrorists will invite the international community.

17. He added that the government don't want journalists to report the true picture of what is happening in the country.

18. He added that there must be insider collaboration in NDA. There are a lot of irresponsible people in Nigerian Military formations. This is well known.

19. In few hours the people that attacked NDA will be apprehended, but that's not the solution.

20. The Government should have a policy change. The sponsors should be apprehended and brought to justice.

21. There must be a direct change of policy from Islamization to Democracy.

22. This is a tyrannical government.The damage this government is going to do in the next two years will be more than what they had done in the past six years.

This man needs to be protected

Naval Commander Kunle added that there will be 10% casualties to make it look like it's Banditry and not Islamization.Thats why you see attacks in some Muslims areas so as to convince the international community that the government knows nothing.

An efficient government must control 3 things basically
1. Security Apparatus
2. Mainstream Media
3. Mineral Resources

However, if poorly managed, the administration will unconsciously slip into dictatorship. I think we are just a step before approaching it.

Nigeria is a case of becareful with the choice you make.
Choices have consequences.
The bad choice that was made in 2015 & repeated in 2019 have come to hurt everybody.
I remember Channels TV and its owner used to be APC media channel and even the owner was an APC member.
It is not good to support evil, becos one day it might turn around to hurt you.
Ppl will still not learn.
In 2023, they will go again and package either the Bullion Van man or the other Dubai based chief to come be our president.

My only bitterness here is that only Chamberlain and Maupe that where part of the original 4 that were in the studio in 2015 during the election of Buhari suffered this. Maupe and co were part of the instrument used to foster this government on us. Karma is really a bitch. How I which Suleiman and Aledhe also experienced this.

This four then were just focus on amplifying Jonathan's mistakes and showing it to Nigeria. Nobody arrested nor intimidated them.

Today the birds has come to roost. They should enjoy their own portion of CHANGE and NEXT LEVEL joined together.

He that kills with cutlass, will never allow anyone to pass behind him with cutlass. APC knew this was how Jonathan was brought down. Our darling baba will not go down like this. Kai baba
