The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the reported suspension and fine of N5 million slammed by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) on Channels Television over alleged violation of broadcasting code, as draconian.
In a statement issued by Kola Ologbondiyan, National Publicity Secretary on Monday, the party
stressed that, without prejudice to the issues raised against Channels Television, the reported hasty clampdown, without the benefit of caution, is suggestive of intolerance and high-handedness by the regulatory body.
The party expressed worries that such disposition could be counter-productive and heighten the already tense situation in our nation at this critical time.
The PDP, therefore, urged NBC to review the punitive measure on the media house as well as a scale-up system-friendly measure that will ensure best practices in information dissemination in the country.
