Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has called on the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) to sanction the NTA for broadcasting the acceptance speech of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adamawa State, Aisha Dahiru aka Binani.
In an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Thursday, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria said Binani’s acceptance speech confirmed that she was a party to the “charade” and should be investigated.
He said, “With respect to the acceptance speech, the acceptance speech already confirmed that she was party to the charade. She has to be brought in by the police and investigated.

“How did you prepare a speech if you did not know that you were going to be declared the winner because, at that stage, the collation had not been concluded?
“The last point is the role of NTA, the NTA televised the acceptance speech. I expect the NBC to move in speedily and sanction the NTA because, at that time, collation was still ongoing.”
Falana is the latest to call on NBC to swoop in on the national broadcaster over its role in the alleged illegal acceptance speech by Binani.
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has indefinitely suspended the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Hudu Yunusa, who declared Binani winner of the election before the collation of results was over.
