The Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC) has recommended that MultiChoice, a satellite pay TV company, delay its proposed subscription price increase and continue with the current pricing until the commission has completed its investigations.

In a statement made yesterday in Abuja by Ondaje Ijagwu, the Director of Corporate Affairs, the FCCPC noted that this recommendation followed MultiChoice Nigeria’s request for an extension regarding its forthcoming appearance before the commission.

While the FCCPC has granted the request, the company is now required to attend the rescheduled investigative hearing on March 6 along with all relevant officers to provide a comprehensive response.

Pursuant to this, MultiChoice is expressly instructed to maintain the existing price structure as of February 27, pending the commission’s review and final determination on the matter.

FCCPC noted that maintaining the status quo on pricing is essential to prevent any potential consumer harm during this period.

Further updates, according to the commission, will be provided as the investigation progresses.

Ademola popularly known as Lucky, said his decision to leave the PDP was influenced by his assessment of the political situation in the state ahead of the 2027 elections.

“I did my due diligence and realised that any ticket outside the APC is a mere tissue paper that cannot take a candidate anywhere in 2027.

We are here in our hundreds to formally join the APC, and we promise to do our best in the interest of the progressive party and our dear country, Nigeria,” Ademola said.

Ojo, who was seeking the Accord ticket in the same constituency, also announced his decision to join the APC, describing his previous political efforts with Accord as unproductive.

We thought about making Accord a credible alternative in the state, but we later realised that the APC was far ahead of other parties.

“We wasted our time, energy and resources on an unproductive exercise. We later realised it wasn’t worth it, so we decided to pitch our tent with the progressive party,” Ojo said.

The defectors were received by the Oyo State Chairman of the APC, Chief Moses Alake-Adeyemo, who assured them that they would have equal opportunities within the party.
