See How John Momoh Influenced Wike To Save Rivers Broadcast Stations’ MDs Jobs

Mr Momoh, who is also the Chairman, Channels Media Group, while pleading on behalf of the Directors explained that although their absence from the meeting is inexcusable, he believes the sacked MD’s must have learned their lessons.

Governor Wike in response said he believes erring officials deserve to be disciplined but because of the plea of the BON Chairman, he will temper justice with mercy.

Recall Naija News earlier published Governor Wike’s decision to sack the media bosses, criticizing them for failure to carry out assigned duties.
