Following failed plot by the AAC/APC/Army alliance to use Channels Television to circulate false reports to help the rigging of Rivers Governorship election, the Rivers State Correspondent of the medium, Emmanuel Ereyi has tendered his resignation.
Ereyi in his resignation letter, revealed the plot by Channels Television management to illegally use him to manipulate information during the elections.
The Rivers State Correspondent got into troubled waters after his interview with an INEC official exposed the rigging plot.
His video report on the invasion of INEC Headquarters by soldiers irked the Channels Management.
It was learnt that a panel set up by Channels Television accused him of destroying set organisational objectives on Rivers election.
Scan-News gathered that Channels Television detailed one Doubra Timiwood from Bayelsa State to air false reports on the elections. She allegedly worked with AAC/APC/Army alliance to circulate concocted narratives.
However, the video reports of Emmanuel Ereyi destroyed the plot.
The Station sent Seun Okinbaloye for a last push, but Ereyi stood on the side of truth.
On April 3, 2019, Channels Television refused to transmit live signals on the Collation of Rivers State Governorship election. Instead, ths station aired the protests by AAC/APC whilst the Collation was on.
Below is the resignation letter of Emmanuel Ereyi..
Human Resource Manager,Channels Television,Lagos, Nigeria.Dear Sir/Ma
LETTER OF RESIGNATIONI wish to tender my Letter of Resignation as Rivers State Correspondent for Channels Television with immediate effect.
This had become inevitable following series of issues especially following the 2019 elections in Rivers State, especially as I insisted on standing for the truth against the subtle wishes and instruction from some powerful individual not to talk about the role allegedly played by a section of the security agencies in the polls.
Perhaps, to favor a candidate of choice. And on this matter I was invited before a Panel, before which I insisted that nobody can lure or intimidate me to report that which I know is untrue. Especially as I choose to report truth on any matter in the profession.
However, It was rather sad to attempt to force a Letter of Termination on me without due process not stating any grounds of infringement. A Letter I completely rejected and asked the Person handling to send back, while I turn in my resignation. This, therefore comes as a soft copy as the courier service delivers the hard copy.
I am utterly disappointed and wish to state that I will not allow any individual no matter how self acclaimed powerful to destroy my personal and professional goals over political sentiments that have always been denied or sheer wickedness without due considerations whatsoever.
Also, due to sustained psychological and emotional stress following over bearing interference and perceived interests (for lack of a better Phrase), in the Bureau, leading to some form of bad blood and negative energy, which began to affect my personal and professional Goals in the Organization, I am happy to tender my letter of resignation.
