Channels Television has been queried by the National Broadcasting Commission over an interview with Benue State Governor, Samuel Ortom.
Ortom had appeared on the station’s Sunrise Daily programme and described President Muhammadu Buhari as the worst President in the area of security.
The governor said “Mr President is pushing me to think that what they say about him, that he has a hidden agenda in this country is true.
“Because it is very clear that he wants to fulanise, but he is not the first Fulani president.
“Shagari was a Fulani President, Yar’ Adua was a Fulani President, and they were the best in history. But President Buhari is the worst President when it comes to issues of security and keeping his promises.
“Go back to 2015, what did he say, human rights issues, he talked about press freedom, about the economy, corruption, security, tell me one that Mr President has achieved.

“He has achieved some level of development in other sectors, but these prominent things that are concerns to Nigerians and we are all worried about telling me when Mr President has come out to address them. Is it corruption, we are the worst in the history of this country”.
Reacting to the interview, the NBC in a letter to Channels TV described Ortom’s comments as “inciting, divisive and unfair.”
