Akwa-Ibom Journalists Snub Fani-Kayode’s Press Conference by etokhana: 10:36am On Aug 28, 2020
Nigerian Union of Journalists, NUJ, Akwa-Ibom chapter has asked its members to boycott a former minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode’s press conference in the state.

This is coming days after Fani-Kayode had insulted Eyo Charles, a journalist with Daily Trust newspaper, for asking him a question.

Eyo has asked the outspoken Kayode who was bankrolling him in his tour. Reacting Kayode described Eyo’s question as “very stupid”, and rained insult on him.

Femi had since then apologized and asked his friends in the media industry to forgive him. Though he may have been forgiven, but the incident is as fresh as fresh tomatoes.

However, NUJ in Akwa Ibom state Friday, directed its members to boycott a press conference planned for Femi.

In a statement on Friday, the chapter asked journalists not to attend any activity organised by the former minister.

To be frank I don't blame FFK for reacting the way he did, though he took it too far. Some journalists deliberately ask you annoying, almost insulting question just to have something sensational for their bosses.

This is a welcome development. It sends the right message that Nigerian journalists can't be bullied. If you are a public figure, you must be ready to answer very tough questions. The media must stop giving our political elites free pass, they must keep putting them on the spot and ensure they are accountable to the people.

we don't need this garrulous fellow in our state.
He should take his bitterness elsewhere.
From the way he talks it's obvious and crystal clear that he's politically frustrated due to his inciting remarks against the Federal Government and should Buhari gives him an appointment he'll gladly abandon PDP and Igbos and happily accepts the offer.

What a lame excuse. If it was Buhari or El Rufai, you will be saying something different.

He took it too far, though journalists sometimes ask annoying questions...being able to avoid a response or simply ignoring them is not something everyone can do.

Nice one even Donald trump don't dare talk to journalists or reporters that way, and you need to see the kind of provoking questions they ask him on a daily basis. In Nigeria, politicians see themselves as Gods and we too see them as Gods.
