Governor of Ondo State, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu has blacklisted three broadcast media stations from accessing the governor’s office and as well covering its activities.

The affected media outlets include the Channels Television, the African Independent Television (AIT), Raypower and Core Television. They have been instructed to drop all the state government property in their possession, which includes the statehouse media identity cards printed for them by the state government through the office of the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.

It was reliably gathered that on Friday the state’s Commissioner for Information, Yemi Olowolabi had informed the state correspondents of the affected stations that their services were no longer required at the governor’s office.

It was reliably gathered that these blacklisted media stations have been stopped from accessing the facilities of the Alagbaka 'Press Crew' office of the Governor in Akure.

One of the affected correspondents who preferred anonymity disclosed that the quit notice was relayed to them by the Press Officer attached to the Governor’s Office, Bode Akinwumi through the Information Commissioner.

He also stated that the development might not be unconnected with the fact that the affected stations have not been doing the bidding of the commissioner by picking stories favourable to the state government.

Corroborating the claim of his colleague, another affected correspondent maintained that Olowolabi had always been unhappy with them for not reeling out news that would please the state government.

Shame...

He has finally extended his frustration to those media houses. Their inability to get the national chairman of their party to resign has resulted to this bitterness. This is what an American called "pains in the ass". Asshole governors everywhere.

he learnt that from his oga at the top

Apc and foolishness be like. prick and Toto

Someone should please tell Arakunrin that politics is not played the way is playing it. The fact that some individuals tried to lobby people outside the state to win party primaries ahead of him which eventually failed doesn't mean he should alienate them from the party. He shouldn't even forget that he's still in his first term and he will need support of everyone within and outside the state for his re-election. He needs to learn from the recent experience of his friend.

eyaah
