Oby Ezekwesili: "NBC Wants AIT To Be Like NTA" by HeWrites(m): 10:57am On Jun 07, 2019 |
Former presidential candidate, Oby Ezekwesili, has attacked the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC) after it suspended the license of Daar Communications Plc., owners of Africa Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power, Igbere TV reports. Igbere TV reports that NBC Director-General, Modibbo Kawu, announcing the suspension on Thursday, said the action was taken for failure of the broadcasting station to abide by the broadcasting code. Nigerians have appeared unimpressed with the sanction, calling it an attack on the media. Ezekwesili, a former education minister, said on Friday via Twitter with an attached copy of NBC sanction letter to AIT, that the commission wants AIT to be like the state-owned Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) in its approach to matters concerning the government. “My Summary of this lengthy Sanctions letter from NBC to AIT is simply this: ‘We have warned you several times in the past to stop broadcasting things that upset the Government and NBC. You refused to listen. Now we shall shut you up and down until you are ready to be like NTA’. “There is nothing in that letter from NBC to AIT that reaches the threshold for withdrawal of license and shut down of a Media house that we all know Government perceives as an ‘Opposition media’. Wisdom should have actually instructed the FG against striking out at them,” she said.

Before you allow the foolish ipob Miscreants to shape your opinion on this issue: Remember: 1.PDP/NBC under Yar Adua suspended CHANNELS TV for violating NBC rules, democracy was not under threat. 2.PDP under Jonathan suspended ADABA radio(a subsidiary of Tinubu's TVC), for breaching broadcast rules, Democracy was "flourishing" 4. Jonathan asked the DSS to mob up all the Newspapers belonging to leadership. AIT has been suspended and fined by NBC for several and consistent violations of broadcast ethics,failure to pay their licence fees as at when due,despite several written warnings. Ait like Twitter, Facebook, Nairaland, WhatsApp etc has regulatory supervisions, if you contravene any of their codes, you would be sanctioned including Suspension or outright ban.. Whipping up sentiments on the social media, won't help their cause. If they feel aggrieved, they should approach the courts for remedy..After all, NCC sanctioned MTN we all hailed, is it because it is a South African company? 64 Likes 13 Shares |
