<p>“We commend the leadership of the Media Executive Forum for taking the courageous and principled step to suspend live political programme broadcasting, which has deviated from responsible journalism and ethical broadcasting standards on numerous occasions.”</p>
<p>The CSOs noted that the suspended live political programme had become a platform for unverified claims, personal attacks, and provocative language that is tantamount to inciting division and disrupting public peace, especially in Kano’s already delicate political climate.</p>
<p>“Freedom of expression is a cornerstone of democracy,” the statement continued, “but it must be in tune with responsibility, truth, and respect for the rule of law. When media platforms are used recklessly, they become tools of division rather than instruments of enlightenment.</p><div class="qbAMyANo" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
