The public spat between two prominent media owners – Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Television Continental (TVC) and The Nation newspaper and Nduka Obaigbena, proprietor of ARISE NEWS TV and THISDAY newspaper – with their media warriors engaged in mud fight on behalf of their principals....
The public spat between two prominent media owners – Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Television Continental and The Nation newspaper and Nduka Obaigbena, proprietor of ARISE NEWS TV and THISDAY newspaper – with their media warriors engaged in mud fight on behalf of their principals, has unnervingly exposed the ugly underbelly of media practice in Nigeria.
These are some of the headlines in newspapers and online media platforms: Dec. 12, 2022 – You can’t silence free press, Arise Editors tell Tinubu’s media campaign DG, Onanuga; Dec. 13, 2022 – Nduka Obaigbena and his THISDAY/ARISE NEWS’ hypocritical grandstanding on public morality; Dec. 14, 2022 – Lies have short legs. They do not run far, Fake News from Bayo Onanuga and Dele Alake; Dec. 15, 2022 – How Obaigbena is undermining integrity of journalism – APC Campaign.
Perhaps the trigger for current virulent confrontation can be traced to the joint statement by THISDAY/ARISE NEWS Boards of Editors reported on December 12, 2022 on what they claimed was APC’s efforts to silence free and independent press where they accused Alake and Onanuga of taking ‘’unprofessionalism, recklessness, picayune politics and blackmail to a new art form’’, snickering that the two men even threaten the free press with The Nigerian Press Council .
