The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has accused major Nigerian television stations of fuelling the political rift between him and Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara.
Speaking in Abuja, Wike lashed out at Africa Independent Television (AIT), Arise TV, TVC News, and Channels Television, warning that they would no longer benefit from him or his allies.
“No more food for you. You sit in your studios and manufacture stories just to paint me black and incite Rivers people against me. You give your platforms to people who insult me every day without verifying facts. Enough is enough,” Wike said.
He accused the media houses of biased reporting and sensationalising the crisis in Rivers State. He claimed they have become “tools in the hands of political jobbers and blackmailers.”
“From now on, if you think you can blackmail me to get adverts and patronage, you are wasting your time. I won’t spend one kobo on any of you,” Wike declared.
The rift between Wike and Governor Fubara has continued to polarise political stakeholders in Rivers State.
None of the mentioned media organisations has officially responded to Wike’s statement as of the time of filing this report.
