Planet Radio debunks claims of partisanship in broadcasting

The management of Planet Radio 101.1 FM Uyo has debunked claims that the media outfit is a partisan radio station that reports favorably to a particular political party as against its clearly-stated stand on neutrality and equity in reportage.

It’s unbelievable that this is Udom’s CPS, Ekerete Udoh’s twitter account!

No, no, no, we refuse to believe this – that the man who manages a governor’s image through the media would tweet only once since he became the chief press secretary to Udom Emmanuel. Please can someone get Ekerete Udoh to react to this?
