Some journalists were belittled in a condescending manner by
Governor Abiola Ajimobi, today, June 24, at the National Secretariat of
All Progressives Congress.
According to Vanguard’s report, the incident occurred after
a private meeting between some APC governors and National Chairman of the
party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun.
The governors, which include Adams Oshiomhole (Edo), Tanko
Al-Makura (Nasarawa), Nasir El-Rufai (Kaduna), Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Abubakar
Bello (Niger), Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo) and Atiku Bagudu (Kebbi)- had come for a
meeting with Oyegun after previously meeting with President Muhammadu
Buhari.
After the meeting with Oyegun, journalists asked the Oyo state
governor about what they discussed about, but he was not in the mood to respond
to them.
He reportedly asked the journalists for the names of the media
houses they represent and proceeded to shout: “I don’t know any of these media
houses. So, I can’t talk.”
The governor was quoted to have added: “I know what they
want is money. Call me one of my aides to find something for them. I don’t have
time for any comment.”
According to the report, most of the media represented there are
well known outfits.
They include; Thisday, Telegraph, Vision FM, Leadership,
Blueprint, Newsdairy, Lagos Television station, Galaxy TV, The Tide, Federal
Radio Corporation of Nigeria, FRCN, and others.
