AYEFELE’S RADIO STATION DEMOLITION: WE WILL FIGHT BACK, FIBAN TELLS AJIMOBI
‘Some of us paid the supreme price. Let it be known that we remain committed to the discharge of our constitutional responsibility and no amount of intimidation can stop us. The current victimisation of Media Practitioners is tantamount to biting the fingers that fed them. If we fought the Military and won, our victory this time is certain’.
The National President of the body declared, ’we will fight back in our own way, with every strength in us, with every of our platforms and all legitimate mechanisms. We affirm that content is the exclusive right of the Station and the only Government Agency that is vest with the responsibility of interpreting the Broadcast Code is the National Broadcasting Commission and not the Oyo State Government or any of her agencies’
The Association affirmed that it stand by the Management of the Station with regards to their decision to resist unnecessary influence in their programming, considering the unquantifiable contributions of Fresh FM to the Socio-Economic development of Oyo State in particular and Nigeria in general
‘This is obviously one of the most insensitive, unpopular and anti -masses decisions made by the Ajimobi led administration. Finally, we appreciate Nigerians for rising against the oppression of a Media organisation perceived as playing the role of “the voice of the voiceless” under a tyrannical administration that has since lost its popularity and goodwill among the people’.
