A facebook user, Ugo Egbujo has condemned the unprofessional conduct demonstrated by Seun Okinbaloye during his interview with the Minister of Federal Capital Territory(FCT), Mr. Nyesom Wike, on Channels television.
In a post shared on social media, Egbujo expressed disappointment at Seun’s refusal to caution the minister whenever he says unprintable things about his rivals during the interview.
He described Seun’s action as “totally unprofessional.
Egbujo wrote: “The media is complicit.
“Today Channels TV gave Wike two whole hours to ramble.
“At every opportunity the media shows it is susceptible to the influence of money.
“When he wasn’t gossiping, telling old wives tales.
“He wasn’t anointing himself as Mr Righteousness.
“He brought out a retired General of the Nigerian Army and accused him of a plot to assissnate a governor.
“He named a commissioner of police and accused him of murder.
“All these happened on national TV.
“The interviewer Seun Okinbaloye didnt bother to caution him.
“He was carried away by what seemed to him a salacious.
“But it was a rather gravely malicious gossip session.
“When it got to the questionable ownership of a multi million dollar house in the United States. Wike declared that his wife and children were American citizens.
“He said his parents-in-law, who are also American citizens, bequeathed the property to their grand children.
“Interesting. True, the wife is a US citizen and the children have probably become US citizens, but who are these parents in-law who bought this property for their grand children ?
“Seun didn’t bother to ask him when his entire household and extended family all became American citizens and when the house was bought.
“That same man had come on TV to explain away his ownership of a Rolls royce by claiming that his father , a poor priest in PH, had been a General Manager of many companies
“The media is complicit.
“Wike bragged about winning the 2023 presidential elections in Rivers for Tinubu.
“Seun who knows that all credible election observers, local and international, reported that the election in Rivers was stolen, couldnt challenge Wike with facts.
“The media is complicit.
“It will be good to know how much the man pays to have two hours of prime time for national gossip and how much he pays to give senior journalists hover around him like sheep for his regular media chats.
“Seun heard him saying he made everybody and funded everybody.
“But Seun couldn’t ask him where he got all the money from.
“And why he could fund fellow governors .
“Seun couldn’t open his mouth and ask Wike how much land he allocated to his son in Abuja. He allowed Wike to distract him with 2000 acres story.
“Wike couldn’t pay FCT doctors . He couldn’t hire medical staff. He was waiting for budget . But nobody asked him how he found 39billion to renovate a hall.
“The media is complicit”.
