Umar Ridwan, a presenter of Youth and ‘Gari ya waye’ programs at Kaduna based broadcast medium, DITV-Alheri Radio, owned by an ex ally of Pres Buhari, Hakim Baba-Ahmed, has been sacked for posting pro-Buhari comments on Facebook.

Mr Baba-Ahmed was co-agent to President Buhari during the 2015 elections before defecting from APC to PDP.

He is now the Chief of Staff to the Senate President Bukola Saraki, another arch-rival of Mr Buhari.

It was gathered that Ridwan was sacked because of a post he made on his Facebook page concerning the activities of President Buhari.

In the letter dated October 15, the organisation terminated Mr Ridwan’s appointment without stating clearly the offence(s) he had committed.

However, Mr Ridwan pointed out that his sacking might not be unconnected with his Facebook post concerning the activities of President Buhari, which allegedly angered the proprietor. .

According to him, the station had earlier given him 2weeks suspension for posting political matters on his personal social media pages. .

“After some consultations with industrial law experts, I discovered that the station has no right whatsoever to interfere with my personal activities, as long as it does not affect my duty as a presenter. .

So, on my resumption from the suspension, I shared a Tweet on the defunct Nigerian Airways pensioners’ fund release, posted by the Minister of Finance Zainab Ahmed, the management apparently got angry and decided to fire me.”

Lol. Even the press that are supposed to cover buhari's mess are against his come back. Vote buying won't save him from defeat next year .

Very silly guy!

Simple professional etiquette, you can't keep.

You prolly want the management to give you multiple promotion while you post politically sensitive matters online contrary to your contract of employment.

While the fool is quoting industrial law, he doesn't know that the Supreme Court in the case of Osisanya v. Afribank (Nig.) Plc (2007) 6 NWLR (Pt.1031) 565, has ruled that it's impossible to foist an employee on an unwilling master!

You've been fired!
I hope you remain so.

Anu mpam.

Now, go and meet those industrial lawyers to give you a job.

Or you can enroll for NPOWER, since your radio presenter job is not enough for you. Maybe BCO needs your services.

Supporting Buhari is bad for business, you lose your job or customers instantly the moment you support Buhari.

Na wa o

Diplomatic opj of wazobia fm was sacked for criticizing buhari, now nobody knows where he is.

Well go and open your own radio station, don't ruin someone's own with partisan politics.

Buhari should employ him in his BMC department, since he has chosen to be a BMC than a presenter and program Anchor.

if my wife one day decides to support the useless God forsaken dullard jubril,i will send her to her father's house the next minute. Buhari is a bastard useless incompetent lifeless vagabond.

80% of the post above are unreasonable. Imaging his freedom of association, expression... been denied by an employer and you said is normal?
Very soon, ur employer will tell u when and when not to sleep with your wives!

When you support lifelessnes, You begat negativity.

I thought the press is meant to be neutral?

Resignation should be willful not forced.
The mass media should be seen as been fair to all,not one sided. Assuming, Atiku is refused access to NTA,VON,NAN,RNNS...etc which are the largest network medium in the country, then what will be your take?
Or their staff been sacked for airing the opposition's manifesto/achievement...!

in dis same country, sowore's interview wit nta was cancelled.
Stop crying pls

I get maximum insult on my page whenever I post any thing positive on Buhari.

But because of my job I have no option than to swallow the insult and balance my reports.

How many Buharis do we have as President of Nigeria?

Because Buhari has different looks these days.

Cancelled? When, how,why and where!
And if true, then such anomaly should continue? Politics aside, imaging yourself/sibling in his shoe?
In fact, what's employers responsibility in monitoring an employees social life. It's a breech of personal rights and privileges.
The employer can fire his/her employees but not on this infantile ground.
Anyway, nobody know the terms of contract signed between them but...... No justification for the above.

That's very good.


Don't reinforce failure.
