The radio station denied the accusation.

Passion 94.5 FM is a private radio station based in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.

Mr Afangideh, in a petition dated 30 August, accused the radio station of falsely announcing that he has defected to the All Progressives Congress . “By broadcasting this fake news, Passion FM has violated the broadcasting code and the law. It is against the law for a radio station to broadcast fake, injurious news items. Passion FM has therefore broken the law. They should be punished for it.

“I am therefore urging the NBC to call Passion FM to order. Passion FM should desist from spreading fake news against me and my person and political party,” he said. Mr Afangideh, a former commissioner for agriculture in the state, is a former member of the APC but had since dumped the party for the NNPP where he was appointed the deputy governorship candidate.
