OPINION BY OKOH AIHE: From Adamawa, a redeeming opportunity for NBC | TheCable
the other is loading with more complicated suspense and details beyond the imagination of any script writer. Or tell me, how would you ever put the script of the Adamawa governorship election together except from a warped mind with infinite capacity for evil?
However, the role of the NTA in this drama of the absurd, has exposed the broadcast regulator, the National Broadcasting Commission , to a new level of scrutiny, with a number of people asking, why the regulator has not been so fast in sanctioning the NTA as it has done recently, dishing out fines to broadcasters seemingly trapped on the wrong side of the law.
For the sins of NTA, the NBC is being pilloried by quite a number of people who want to see justice served democratically instead of piecemeal dispensation of punishment to perceived enemies. And they have a point. In the heat of this protestation, why are people suggesting another punishment for one of the BON members, NTA?
Under the President Muhammadu Buhari administration, some agencies were blanketed or captured by their supervising ministers. The NBC is one of those agencies. It looks unimaginable to me that the minister would sanction the NTA irrespective of its poor performance at Adamawa and the extensive outrage and condemnation such performance attracted from a concerned populace.
