Leading mobile communications company in the country, MTN
Nigeria has refuted violation of its operating license on the Investigative
Panel (IP) over the 2010 Appeal Court contest of gubernatorial election results
in Osun State by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
ITRealms Online gathered that MTN’s attention was drawn to
reports in the media over a lawsuit purportedly instituted against mobile
operator by the former Governor of Osun State, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and
the Osun State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seeking to revoke
MTN’s license.
Commenting, MTN’s Corporate Services Executive, Mr. Akinwale
Goodluck, noted that the company was yet to be served with court processes
related to the matter.
Also, he stated that MTN did not in any way act contrary to
the terms and conditions of its operating license with respect to the
Investigative Panel (IP) set up by the National Judicial Council (NJC) over the
2010 Appeal Court contest of gubernatorial election results in Osun State.
“We are constrained to speak on this issue because we are
yet to be served with any court summons. When this is done, we will respond
appropriately. Suffice it to say that MTN has a stellar reputation for ethical
conduct,” he declared, adding that MTN took grave exception to any insinuation
of unethical or improper conduct against us.
MTN, he insisted, acted responsibly at all times, and in
accordance with relevant laws, stressing that this unshakeable corporate
principle guided its actions.
“Indeed, we provided all the necessary records to the
requisite security agencies in accordance with laid down procedure,” he said.
As said by Mr. Goodluck MTN is apolitical and non-partisan hence
it has no reason or motivation to act in any unethical or untoward manner as
alleged.
