MTN Nigeria, the country’s largest telecoms operator at the weekend replied the Etisalat Nigeria, another operator, on the switch of popular comic actor, Hafiz Oyetoro better known as Saka from Etisalat commercial advertising to appear as a model in MTN’s mobile number portability (MNP) commercials.

Industry watchers say MTN’s reply has brought a new dimension to the pent-up clash between the two telecommunications companies, now in a tugof- war over Saka.

According to MTN, the purported move by Etisalat to ‘port’ Saka back to the UEA operator’s network after a ‘marketing coup’ which saw Saka porting from MTN to Etisalat, is ‘wishful thinking.’

Speaking on the matter MTN Corporate Services Executive, Mr. Wale Goodluck told National Mirror that MTN management had read in some dailies and online platforms that an operator was planning to port Saka to its network.

“This move is extremely unlikely that Saka will port back because he is comfortable with MTN network. He’s got a contractual commitment with MTN and on the basis of that, I don’t see Saka breaching that contract,” he said.

Etisalat set the stage for the brewing crisis at a forum in Lagos to the ‘marketing coup’ staged by MTN to woo Saka from Etisalat to MTN when Etisalat broke several weeks of silence on the switch of popular comic actor saying it was ready to ‘port’ Saka back to its network.
