PDP Asks NBC To Stop ‘Illegal APC Radio’

The Director General of the President Goodluck Jonathan Campaign Organisation, Mr Femi Fani Kayode, has asked the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation to stop the ‘illegal operations’ of APC radio, which he accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of running.

At a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Mr Fani Kayode alleged that the station’s focus was to incite Nigerians against the Federal Government.

He accused the former Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi and the APC leader, Bola Tinubu, of being the brains behind the APC radio.

“A Propaganda Tool”

“Our attention had been drawn to the existence of an illegal Radio station called “APC Radio” or “Radio Chanji”.

“This radio station has been broadcasting falsehood, propaganda and inciting comments periodically over the last few days and since inception.

“We seize this opportunity to call on the Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation to set its house in order, while ensuring that its rules are followed. We are asking them to use all means available to stop this illegal radio from operating and if necessary to block its illegal operations.

“The objective of the radio station is to serve as a propaganda tool to fight the PDP-led government after the APC loses the elections on March 28,” he said.

He asked the security agencies to arrest an APC leader, Yusuf Mamman, question Kayode Fayemi, Senator Tinubu and the presidential candidate of the APC, General Muhammadu Buhari, on the “illicit and dangerous agenda of this illegal Radio station”’.

He stressed that the PDP would not allow the APC to achieve its plan to destabilise Nigeria.

“The opposition knows that they would lose the election and after this happens, it is their intention to begin to use this illegal Radio Station to incite Nigerians against the government.

“They seek to create mayhem, cause panic and create an atmosphere in which their supporters will be encouraged to slaughter and kill innocent Nigerians whilst the country burns,” he said.

Mr Fani-Kayode accused the opposition party of trying to create a major division and utter chaos within the Nigerian state, using religion and ethnicity.

“It is through the auspices of this illegal Radio Station that they intend to announce members of their planned parallel government, to nominate their ministers and to then create major crisis in our country.

“The whole thing is simply an attempt to denigrate the Nigerian people and bring us into disrepute before the international community,” he said."
