PDP rejects FG's reviewed broadcast code - The Nation

The People’s Democratic Party has rejected the reviewed broadcast code introduced by the federal government.

The federal government had, on Wednesday, announced a review of the fine against “hate speech” from N500, 000 to N5 million.The PDP said the new measure was meant to intimidate the media and gag whistle blowers from further exposing the humongous corruption, abuse of office, violation of human rights as well as betrayal of trust and abuse of office by officials of the administration.

“The APC has been jittery over the stench of monumental corruption oozing out from its government as well as its anti-Nigeria activities, and now seeks to suppress public opinion and media reportage of their atrocities against our nation.

“Our party however, wishes to inform the APC and its administration that the provisions of the 1999 Constitution and other laws guiding media practice, which guarantees a free press and freedom of opinion by Nigerians are clear and that no matter how much the truth is suppressed, it must always come to light.
