While reaffirming that the station is a private radio
station and as such remains very fair and neutral, Afia stated that the
program; “Akwa Ibom Mandate”, anchored by Sampson Akpan is not a planet radio
programme, but an independent show created and sponsored by the government to
promote governor Udom Emmanuel’s developmental strides in the state.
Recalling that the station afforded the All Progressives
Congress- APC the needed voice in the build-up to and during the elections to
sell their manifestos to Akwa Ibom people, Affia wondered why the party should
now take up the business of spreading false stories of taking sides with the
government of the day.
The Planet FM boss therefore restated the media outfits
mission, which is to inform, entertain and educate the people and not take
sides with any political party, and urged the public to stop the publication of
all articles and statements that is aimed at tarnishing the image of the
privately-owned radio station.
