He said Mr. Omale only happened to be the chairman by virtue of been the Chairman of BON, a position which rotates between the D-G of NTA an Voice of Nigeria, VON.
According to Mr. Akiotu, the founder of the African Independent Television, Chief Raymond Dokpesi, also does not influence the group.
He explained further that the group was independent and registered the Corporate Affairs Commission, CAC with the Guild of Editors, Nigerian Union of Journalists, and the Transition Monitoring Group as members, along with the Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria, BON.
