Nigerians have called for the shutdown of Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) over a controversial statement made by the governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, during a late-night programme aired on the station, Igbere TV reports.


Igbere TV recall that Mrr El-Rufai in February said that anyone who is sent to the country from the international community to interfere with the nation’s affairs would return in a body bag.


The call for NTA shutdown and probe on El-Rufai heightened on Friday morning after the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on Thursday suspended the license of Daar Communications Plc., owners of Africa Independent Television (AIT) and Ray Power until further notice.


NBC Director-General, Modibbo Kawu, said the action was taken for failure of the broadcasting station to abide by the broadcasting code.


Nigerians have appeared unimpressed with the sanction, and have said that the rules of ‘hate speech’ and other violations should also apply to government-owned broadcast stations.

And Tinubu's tvc.
In 2015 Amaechi said APC would form a parallel govt and nothing happened.
When Jonathan went to Niger Republic, El Rufai said he was going there to re-arm bokoharam. He was not even invited to a chat by our security services.

Tinubu tvc should be suspended too. Rubbish.

Some religion ain't just compatible with others.

These politicians will be using emotional blackmail to hurt themselves....

JUST FOR POWER..

Exactly what he is trying to do. Forgetting that the world has become a global village, that what affects one country invariably will affect others.

This is lovely. I thought the president ordered ballot box thieves to be shot on sight? How are the two different?

Mynd44:
He said foreigner who come to interfere in the elections will go back in body bags.

You invite someone to come monitor your election and still call it interference?

The two are not different because both belong to violence prone school of thought.

He said they are free to come and observe and write their report but interfere? There is a difference between invitation to observe and you interfering?

How can international observers who has the terms of reference spelled out for them begin to do something contrary? What was hell rufai even afraid of that hurried such a diplomatic gaffe out of his pygmy mouth? Well, his cohorts still had to correct the wrong impression by hell rufai.

Semantics....twisting of the English language to suit your narrative.
Why were a section of the country so angry when one of the ballot box snatchers was rumored to have been killed at Okota Lagos?
I am choosing my words carefully, because I may be banned if I were to freely express myself.

Gandollar:

I remember how someone was nearly lynched at Okota because he went to snatch ballot box(es). The same people who were hailing the president's directive turned around to get mad at the audacity of those who took matters into their hands and decided to mete out judgment.
Hypocrisy is a Nigerian.
