President Buhari Bars Nigerian Radio From Holding Scheduled Interview With Presidential Candidate ‘Omoyele Sowore’

The fear of exposing corruption and rots in the present administration might have made President Muhamadu Buhari on Thursday to order the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria (FRCN) to stop the presidential candidate of African Action Congress (AAC), Omoyele Sowore, from speaking in an arranged and agreed radio interview.

Sowore was billed to have a one-hour interview with the radio, but a few minutes to the talk show, it was announced that there was order from “above” for the interview to be stood down.
