DISGRACEFUL REVOCATION OF THE KWARA STATE BROADCASTING CORPORATION LICENSE, BY THE NBC.
19/08/2022.
The Kwara state Peoples Democratic party (PDP) are as surprised as all well meaning Kwarans, at the revocation of the broadcasting license of the Kwara state broadcasting corporation for lack of payment of yearly licensing renewal fees today, 19/08/2022.
The inept and mediocre All Progressives Congress (APC) party regime, has again shown another level of their traitorous and incompetent dealings to Kwarans.
We at the PDP are not surprised at the new low that the Kwara state APC regime has descended to. As we see one of the paid faceless, media agents of the Kwara state APC regime trying unsuccessfully to exonerate the regime by puting the blames of the inadequacies of their regime on my person (Prince ‘Tunji Moronfoye) through their usual, viral, untraceable, buck passing, propaganda mongering writeups.
Consequently, the Kwara APC party regime has again forgotten, that they are not the opposition they were pre-2019, as we see switch to their default settings, which are vile lies and putrid Propaganda. Sadly, Kwarans have been saddled with a Mediocre regime that has no interest whatsoever in the development of Kwara state but in the lining of their bottomless pit, pockets.
The PDP wishes to ask the Inept Kwara state APC regime a few questions;
-When did the Kwara state APC regime discover that the license renewal fees were unpaid, was it at the instance of the ban by the National broadcasting Commission (NBC) or long before today?
-The NBC in their statement, where the Kwara state broadcasting corporation’s license was revoked, mentioned that they had reached out to all erring organizations some months back, how come Kwarans were not informed of the fact that there was a backlog of license renewal fees payment then?
-If I was involved in any wrong doing, during my tenure as Commissioner for information and communications, why weren’t Kwarans informed immediately the Kwara state APC’s incompetent regime was notified of the backlog of licensing fees payment, three months ago or better still when they took over power in 2019?
-The Kwara state APC party regime is quite notorious for not buying ordinary electricity units for the prepaid meters at Government facilities, like the water works unless the Kwara state “sole Administrator” gives his personal approval, how is the NBC licensing fees renewal payment any different?
-How come the current Commissioner for communications Mr. ‘Bode Towoju, stated on the WhatsApp platform “Tabloid”, that the APC state regime already paid 10 million Naira in their bid to offset the total amount owed to the NBC just today, as the news of the disgraceful license revocation broke?
-How come in this disgraceful saga of the Kwara state broadcasting corporation license revocation, we are not even privy to the total amount owed the NBC by the Kwara state government?
-How come only the Kwara state Radio corporation (Radio Kwara) broadcasting license was revoked, not the Kwara state television station?
We would encourage Kwarans to keep asking the corruption infused, opaque Kwara APC party regime, uncomfortable questions about our collective patrimony.
Questions like;
“Where is the list, location and Bills of Quantities (BOQ’s) of the the over 600 phantom renovated State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) schools with our 14 Billion Naira”?
“Where is Mr. Abass Abdulrazaq, the runaway transformer supply contractor, that made away with over 138 million Naira of our collective patrimony for over 14 months, without a Bank Guarantee for the almost 200 million naira, transformers supply contract signed”?
“Where is the list of *phantom beneficiaries,* their local government areas, and the contact details of the scandalous “Kwarapreneur 1 & 2 empowerment initiative” beneficiaries?
We at the PDP will not get involved in the lies, vile, repugnant & diversionary, propaganda tactics, which is the trademark of the Kwara APC party regime. We at the PDP will continue to showcase our high class, experience in governance and competence, while the Kwara state APC regime continuously show Kwarans their ineptitude, incompetence and disgraceful mediocrity.
Kwara deserves better.
God Bless Kwara state. AMEN.
Signed.
Prince Tunji Moronfoye.
Kwara state PDP Publicity Secretary.
