Every criticism against Buhari is termed hate speech — Dokpesi

Says Buhari’s government frustrating AIT, Raypower

The Chairman emeritus and founder of DAAR Communications Plc, Raymond Dokpesi, on Thursday, accused the Presidency of frustrating the company’s broadcasting outfits: Africa Independent Television, AIT, and Raypower FM.

He alleged that the Presidency was using the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, to frustrate his broadcast stations.
Speaking during a press conference in Abuja, the media mogul lamented that under the current leadership of the NBC, press freedom has been greatly eroded.

According to him, “I believe very strongly that under the leadership of the current director-general of the NBC (Is’haq Kawu), press freedom has been greatly eroded.

“If this was not protected by the president, is it possible that his body language is being interpreted?

“I have it on strict authority and very assured information that the highest echelons of government, the presidency, queried and challenged the NBC that they were not doing their jobs.
“How on earth could they be hearing and seeing on AIT what they termed hate speech? Any criticism of this government is hate speech. The NBC is acting under the authority of the president and Commander-in-Chief.

“The licensing fees in Nigeria is one of the highest in the world. There is no country in the world where you have this type of exploitative fees. I have appealed for a reduction because the payments cannot be sustained by private broadcasters in Nigeria.
“This economy has plummeted. This government has called this organisation unprintable names which has deterred several advertisers from patronising AIT.
