Famous Nigerian journalist, Rufai Oseni, has mocked the
Nigeria Broadcast Commission, NBC, for playing what he described as “double
standard.”

 

Oseni, in a post via his Twitter handle on Thursday, said
that the NBC was yet to issue any statement following the role of the Nigeria
Television Authority, NTA, in the illegal declaration of Adamawa gubernatorial
election result.

 

He wondered why the broadcast regulatory body has yet to
issue any sanction, alleging a double standard.

 

Recall that Hudu Yunusa, the Resident Electoral
Commissioner, REC, Adamawa State, illegally decalared Binani winner of the
State election on Sunday.

The illegal declaration was covered by the NTA, a
government-owned media outfit.

 

However, the electoral commission swiftly denounced the
purported declaration and suspended the collation of results of the
supplementary election.

 

Meanwhile, Oseni claimed if it was another station, the NBC
would have sanctioned such station the next day.

 

He wrote, “About a week, yet we have heard no statement from
the NBC on the NTA incident, if it was another station.The next day they would
have sanctioned such station. Double standards!”
