Deji Adeyanju, popular Abuja-based activist, has urged the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, to boycott all federal government events.
Adeyanju made the appeal while condemning the imposition of fine worth millions of naira on AIT, Channels and Arise TV.
The National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, had fined the above listed media houses over their coverage of the End SARS protest.
NBC had tagged the media houses coverage as unprofessional.
Condemning the sanction, Adeyanju of the Concerned Nigerians urged the NUJ to avoid federal government’s events for two weeks.
In a tweet, the activist wrote: “I appeal to the NUJ to boycott all Federal Government events and activities in the country for 2weeks in protest against the NBC fine of AIT, ARISE and CHANNELS.
“This should be the irreducible minimum. Don’t be vocal only against FFK and scarred of Buhari. #EndSARS.”
NUJs boycott of @MBuhari SARs State-Aided Robbery Squad led activities should be indefinite. Until they rescind their directive to NBC to impose fines on Arise, AIT and Channels News organisations. This is absurd as @MBuhari wants to gag the Nigerian media. This have emboldened Mr. Lai Mohammed to spearhead the attempt to curb social media see his presentation to the senate committee while defending his own share of yet another treasury loot for 2021.
