<p>A privately-owned radio station in Ebonyi State, Legacy FM has suspended the acting General Manager, Mr Godfrey Chikwere.</p><div class="Aj2fkaS8" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>His suspension, it was gathered, followed his alleged persistent “negative” projection of Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru, and his policies during radio broadcasts and on social media.</p>
<p>Announcing his suspension on Saturday, the management of Legacy FM claimed the ousted official acted in a manner contrary to the station’s code of conduct.</p>
<p>It said, “The management of Legacy FM 95.1, The Sound of Now, hereby suspends the acting General Manager, Godfrey Chikwere, with immediate effect, till further notice.</p><div class="joOxtn5G" style="clear:both;float:left;width:100%;margin:0 0 20px 0;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

<p>“This is due to unruly behaviour and disobedience to the code of conduct guiding the Legacy FM.</p>

<p>The radio personality, in a post on his Facebook page on Friday, called on the governor to be stringent in his handling of state matters.</p>
<p>He alleged that public perception of the governor’s administration was being cajoled, while also claiming Nwifuru’s administration was marred by poor communication, underperformance by his appointees, and lack of clear-cut policy direction.</p>
<p>Chikwere also advised the governor to “step on toes” to achieve results, adding that the current state of affairs weakened his support base.</p>
<p>Reacting, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Monday Uzor, criticised the suspended radio staff member over what he described as undue criticisms of his boss’ administration.</p>
<p>In a statement on Friday, Uzor described the criticisms as baseless and unfounded, accusing the former of ingratitude for attacking the governor despite what the state government had done for them.</p>
<p>He said, “It is regrettable that despite the radio station thriving only on government support, the supposed helmsman dedicates a greater percentage of the station’s airtime to attack and run down the government whose support has kept his medium afloat.</p>
<p>“For the avoidance of doubt, the governor gifted the medium a brand new Changan SUV, donated a brand new transformer that powers the station, constructed the road leading to the broadcasting house.</p>
<p>“But rather than give at least balanced coverage of government activities, it has been turned into a slaughter house of the governor’s genuine development efforts and goodwill, what a way to be ungrateful to good deeds.”</p>
<p>On his part, the state Commissioner for Information in Ebonyi State, Ikeuwa Omebeh, also condemned Chikwere’s criticisms of Nwifuru, describing them as “derogatory and inciting.”</p>
<p>In a statement on Saturday, the commissioner accused him of “overstepping his bounds.”</p>
<p>He said his remarks against the governor were unacceptable and an affront to the collective identity of all the people of the state.</p>
