APC plans to announce false presidential poll result----PDP

By -

(Nigeria) The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, PDPPCO has accused the All Progressives Congress, APC, of setting up its own radio station called Radio APC or Radio Chanji to use it o announce false results after the Presidential poll.
Speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Friday, Director, Media and Publicity of PDPPCO, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode, called for the arrest of the Presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari(rtd) and the National leader of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu over the existence of what he described as an illegal radio station called "APC Radio or " Radio Chanji".
Fani- Kayode also called for the arrest of Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State; former governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi and former Nigeria Ambassador to Spain, Ambassador Yusuf Mamman, because the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC has confirmed the existence of  the radio station.
Fani- Kayode said,  "We have invited you here today to let you know that we believe that we have been vindicated on the report we gave to you just two days ago about the existence of Radio Chanji.  This is despite the denials and the lies by APC about the true situation of things and about their dastardly intentions and sinister plots to use the station for nefarious purposes.
"The fact that the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation (NBC), only yesterday, has confirmed that this radio station exists, that it is possible that its operations are being conducted from outside the country and that the operations have been on-going for a while, albeit in a very low key manner, gives us even more cause for concern than we had before.
 "Once again, we wish to point out the dangers of this radio station and the evil intention of the people behind it. Apart from anything else, they wish to use the station to announce false results after the up-coming elections are conducted. That is the primary and more obvious intention and motive. There is, however, a less obvious motive and intention and it is as follows.
"We believe that it is only after the APC has been defeated in the Presidential elections that the secondary purpose of this station will manifest. The truth is that they intend to use it to create division, chaos and strife in Nigeria by propagating the most irresponsible form of mendacious and inciting falsehood and provocative propaganda.
"They also intend to use it to incite their supporters to kill. Once again we call on the authorities to investigate, question and arrest the people behind it before it is too late and before all hell breaks loose. Apart from this, we would like to take this opportunity to put a number of questions that millions of Nigerians have been asking the Presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, over the last few weeks.
"Does he still believe that an attack on Boko Haram is an attack on the north? Does he have a secret soft spot and closet affinity for Boko Haram? What are his views about the terrorist organisations known as Al Shabab, Al Qaeda, ISIS and ISIL, all of whom are allies of Boko Haram?  Does he believe that they have a point and does he approve of their violent methods? Can he guarantee that not one dollar of Al Qaeda, ISIS or ISIL money has been used to support his presidential campaign? Does he believe in a secular state?
" Is it true that Buhari gets massive covert funding from Hamas, ISIS, ISIL, Al Qaeda and various shady Middle Eastern interests? Is it true that he was once nominated by Boko Haram to be their spokesman in proposed talks with the Federal Government?

*Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri (Nigeria) Bayelsa State Governor, Senator Douye Diri, has said the ruling of the country’s apex court on the Osun State governorship election was an affirmation that power in a democracy resided with the people. Governor Diri, while congratulating Senator Ademola Adeleke in a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, on Wednesday, expressed joy that the Supreme Court sealed the mandate freely given to the governor by the Osun people. The Bayelsa governor also said the verdict reflected the current mood of the country where those whose stock-in-trade is to promote electoral violence and subvert the will of the people have no place in our electoral system.

(Nigeria) The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, has been restrained by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, from imposing fines on broadcast stations in the country. Trial judge in the matter, Justice James Omotosho also set aside the N500,000 fines imposed on March 1, 2019, on each of 45 broadcast stations. The court made the orders in its judgment a suit by the Incorporated Trustees of Media Rights Agenda, MRA, which had sued the NBC. Justice Omotosho held that the NBC, not being a court of law, had no power to impose sanctions as punishment on broadcast stations. The court further held that the Nigeria Broadcasting Code, which gives the commission the power to impose sanction, is in conflict with Section 6 of the Constitution that vested judicial power in the court of law. He said the court would not sit idle and watch a body imposing fine arbitrarily without recourse to the law. He said that the commission did not comply with the law when it sat as a complainant and at...
