Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, has petitioned the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to penalize Channels Television

 


Bola Tinubu, the president-elect, has petitioned the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to penalize Channels Television for allegedly violating the Nigerian Broadcasting Code during a recent interview with Datti Baba-Ahmed, the vice presidential candidate for the Labour Party.


The president-elect had stated the following in a letter dated March 30, 2023, and signed by Bayo Onanuga, Director of Media and Publicity for the All Progressives Congress presidential campaign council: 


The All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council hereby petitions the National Broadcasting Commission regarding what it believes to be violations by Channels TV last week on its program "Politics Today" in accordance with Section 14.0.1 of the Nigerian Broadcasting Code, which states that the duty of the National Broadcasting Commission is to accept complaints from harmed persons, bodies, or members of the public and investigate as well as apply sanctions where necessary.


The former governor of Lagos State charged Baba-Ahmed with disparaging the credibility of the presidential election on February 25, 2023, in a number of remarks. Datti criticized Tinubu's election as president-elect in the interview and sternly urged President Buhari and the Chief Justice of Nigeria not to swear him in.


In his petition, Tinubu demanded that the station be penalized because the host of the program should have warned the Labour party nominee against making such careless remarks.


The letter states, in part:


The Labour Party, according to Datti, won the polls. This is false and inaccurate. The Code states that a broadcaster is responsible when he permits a visitor to make an outrageous claim that is untrue and unsupported by evidence. The Independent National Electoral Commission's publication of the final results, which ranked the Labour Party third, contains the only factual data that was empirically compiled.


The guest on the program in issue, Datti Baba-Ahmed, stated that because the President-elect did not receive 25% of the vote in the FCT, President-elect Muhammadu Buhari should not take the oath of office.
