NBC fines TVC N2m over Tinubu, Keyamo’s comments

The National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) has slammed a N2 million fine on Continental Broadcasting Services Limited, owners of Television Continental (TVC), for airing inflammatory comments.

In a letter dated February 3 and signed by its Director-General, Balarabe Ilelah, NBC mentioned the statement credited to the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, during one of the party’s campaign rallies and the media briefing by the spokesman of the party’s presidential campaign council, Festus Keyamo.

The commission also cited the statement the former Lagos State governor made against the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi, during APC’s campaign rally in Anambra State.
