Why Request To Declare State Of Emergency In South East Won't Achieve Anything - Omokri

Pastor W. F Kumuyi, Deeper Life Bible Church’s Superintendent and other men of God have been blamed for the suspension of Daar Communication Plc, owners of AIT, RAY POWER.

This was stated by Reno Omokri, a former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, who described the NBC action as an ‘act of aggression’.

Recall that Naija News reported that the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission (NBC) yesterday suspended the license of Daar Communications Plc, owners of AIT, RAY POWER.

Chief Raymond Dokpesi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party owns Daar Communication Plc.

According to Modibbo Kawu, the NBC Director-General, the action was taken because the broadcasting station failed to adhere to the broadcasting code.

The offenses which were listed by the NBC includes ‘airing of a presidential election documentary by the AIT, a matter pending before a tribunal, the inability of the company to pay its fees, the use of “divisive and inciting contents from the Social Media” among others.

However, Reacting, Omokri blamed Pastor Kumuyi for NBC’s decision,

Omokri wrote: “First they came for the Legislature (Bukola Saraki), we did nothing, Next they came for the Judiciary (CJN Walter Onnoghen), we said nothing. Now, they have come for the Press (AIT). Will you still do NOTHING?

“This act of aggression against AIT is only possible because men of God, Like Pastor Kumuyi, refuse to speak and instead ask those who will speak not to “attack” a government that attacks our liberty. That is how they kept quiet under Abacha.”

Kumuyi had recently advised that Nigerians should stop attacking President Muhammadu Buhari and endeavor to obey constituted authorities and also shun violence in order to be real Christians.
