Benue Speaker Denies Barring Channels TV From Covering Assembly

Contrary to reports making the rounds that reporters of Channels Television have been barred from covering the seatings of Benue State House of Assembly, Makurdi, the Speaker, Mr. Terkimbi Ikyange has denied the insinuation.

He said no media organization has been barred from covering the activities of the Assembly.

Channel Television was the first to publicise the fracas that ensued in the hallowed chambers of the Assembly among some members over the leadership tussle of the 8th Assembly.

Ikyange noted the significant role played by Channels Television in enthroning the “Change Agenda” currently being enjoyed by Nigerians and Benue People in particular, through effective and balanced reportage of political activities that led to the 2015 general election, insisting that he would be the last person to excluded Channel from covering the House activities.
