Channels Television and it’s partisanship, By Yusuf K Gazali

Since the inception of this Television Station I have not seen a single Muslim Anchoring any program or even casting any News.

Does it mean there are no Muslim Journalists ? Or that Channels belongs to only a particular section of the Society ?

I also noticed every morning the Station airs a Bible study program called turning point (which I personally enjoy and learn a lot from), It also has similar program at exactly 6 to 7pm before Politics today.

Not a single Muslim program has earned such favour from this TV Station.

One can argue and say they are all sponsored, but Hey ! we all know there is more to it than just being Sponsored.

At least AIT shows some compassion by airing the Adhan (call for prayer).

My question is does this TV Channels has any Moral right to question the Muslim-Muslim Ticket by the APC when most of its Staff are Christians and programs skewed to favour one religion ?

With all this, Nobody called it a Christian Chanel, nor did anybody complain about the Members of Staff being predominantly Christians.

What Nigerians see is a Group of Brilliant News Anchors and Reporters who are good at their Jobs, with no sentiments attached to it.

If Tinubu and Kashim Shettima can take Nigeria to the promised land so be it.

But Channels has no moral obligation to question a Muslim-Muslim Ticket or even a Christian-Christian Ticket.

It should first clean it’s own House first.
