The Baldwin Spencer administration in Antigua and Barbuda has dismissed claims by Opposition Leader Lester Bird that he is being denied access to the state-owned radio and television stations.



Prime Minister Spencer has described the allegation as baseless.



Mr Bird has been arguing that he has not been able to address citizens via ABS TV and Radio in his official capacity as Opposition Leader.



The Prime Minister has accused the opposition leader of using propaganda tactics in an attempt to help build support for his ruinous tenure as the leader of the opposition.
