Binani: Another Media House Will Have Been Shut Down Over Illegal Acceptance Speech - Rufai Oseni Slams NBC

 

Arise TV anchor and broadcast journalist, Rufai Oseni has called out the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) over alleged double standard.

 

This comes after an ‘illegal acceptance speech’ by the gubernatorial candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa state, Aishatu Dahiru was aired on the National Television Authority, (NTA).

 

Recall that Binani had on Sunday delivered an acceptance speech on NTA shortly after she was illegally declared the governor-elect of the state by the resident electoral commissioner (REC) Hudu Ari.

 

Following the broadcast aired by the national television, which is over 24 hours, the NBC is yet to take any visible action against the state broadcaster.

 

In reaction to the development, Rufai in a series of tweets on Tuesday condemned the silence of the NBC on the matter. According to the journalist, the NBC would have swung into action had it been the offense was committed by another broadcasting station.

 

He tweeted,  “A state broadcaster took an illegal acceptance speech and NBC hasn’t fined them or petitioned them?
