The All Progressives Congress (APC) has launched a new international radio station. This follows the takeover and dominance of the nation’s broadcasting airwaves by elements of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who are using same to attack the APC leadership. GISTMANIA learnt that the new broadcast outfit, which broadcasts from undisclosed locations, has started broadcasting to Hausa speaking people of Northern Nigeria with 500kw transmitters on test transmission from 7:00am-7:30am on 11720khz on the 25meterband shortwave. The sign-call of the radio is Radio APC, Radio Chanji. The broadcast which was received and monitored in Kano, Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Maiduguri, Adamawa, Birnin-Kebbi and Niamey, among others, started transmission over the weekend.The programmes which were largely APC musicals in Hausa language are in support of the party’s presidential candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari, the party’s Kaduna State governorship candidate, Malam Nasir el-Rufai; Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Sokoto State governor Aliyu Wammako and other party chieftains. The unnamed female announcer said a 24-hour transmission would soon commence to cover the pre-and post-election activities of the party, including the phone-in programmes, on-the-spot assessments, and interviews with various strata of the party’s faithful.

Is the Radio station legal? Hope APC that is campaigning against corruption is not doing thing's illegally because I don't see why the station should be hidden, these are the kind of propaganda that influence violence in the north

Nigerians can see another form of APC lawlessness, we all know that only terrorist have and broadcast from an undisclose locations. we have several public and private media outlets in Nigeria so what stops APC from going through the legal process of esterblishing a media station, i am very convinced, APC is another form of terrorist organisation hoping to capture the seat of power to unleash their evil tendences on the Nigeria people, i only pity its supporters who are ignorant of this. Our God is Alive and He will stand and fight for us in Jesus Name!

Thats what happens when the C in C cant call the media to order. We have BON and yet, they allow some very very unnecessary programs to be aired against the opposition. One of them on AIT end up by telling us categorically .. DO NOT VOTE FOR BUHARI, HE DOES NOT WORTH YOUR VOTES... So, since when does a program on television tells us who to,or who not to vote??? and yet NBC allowed it. Pathetic
