In a shocking revelation that has sent ripples through the Nigerian political landscape, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar's Special Assistant on Public Communication, Phrank Shaibu, has exposed what he alleges to be a sinister plot by the Federal Government (FG) to silence the media. The timing of this alleged scheme is especially concerning as it coincides with the impending release of FBI files on Bola Tinubu, the current President of Nigeria.

The allegations made by Atiku's aide paint a picture of a government that is increasingly frustrated by the Chicago State University scandal and is now preparing to launch a massive offensive against the media. According to Shaibu, the threat by the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to sanction Arise News Television is just the tip of the iceberg.

One of the most significant accusations is that the NBC has become a partisan player in the media landscape, favoring the government and its allies. This allegation is supported by the recent fine imposed on Television Continental (TVC) for what the NBC deemed “unprofessional broadcasts.” Shaibu argues that since Bola Tinubu assumed the presidency, the NBC has grown more partisan than ever before. The NBC boss, Balarabe Ilelah, is accused of dancing to the tune of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and its leadership at the Presidential Villa.

The crux of the matter, as asserted by Shaibu, is that the NBC is now allegedly part of a grand plot to stifle the media's coverage of Tinubu's certificate scandal. This move comes after the government faced a setback in the court of public opinion, and it appears they are now resorting to using state powers to silence the media. This shift in approach is viewed as a betrayal of the ideals of the June 12 struggle, with Shaibu highlighting the importance of media freedom in upholding democracy.

The forthcoming release of FBI documents adds another layer of complexity to this controversy. These documents are expected to shed light on an investigation that allegedly links Bola Tinubu to heroin trafficking, a revelation that could have far-reaching consequences. Shaibu emphasizes that it is crucial for the dissemination of this information not to be left solely to social media. He underscores the media's role as the “watchdog of society,” a role enshrined in Section 22 of the 1999 constitution.

Beyond the immediate issue of media suppression, Shaibu also draws attention to what he sees as a double standard in Nigerian politics. He points to the case of Stella Okotete, a ministerial nominee from Delta State, who faced denial of confirmation due to alleged certificate forgery. In contrast, Shaibu argues that the bar has been lowered for the office of the president, suggesting that this raises questions about the government's commitment to upholding standards.

Moreover, the case of Mmesoma Ejikeme, a young individual accused of forging her JAMB results from a third-party vendor, is brought into the spotlight. Shaibu questions why those who would not hire graduates with lower qualifications in their private companies are now defending certificate forgery at the highest levels of government. This perspective highlights the alleged hypocrisy within the Tinubu government and the APC-led Senate.

As Naija NewsBurrow News Network delves deeper into this controversial topic, it is clear that the allegations made by Atiku's team have stirred the pot of Nigerian politics.
