JUST IN: Journalists boycott Fani Kayode’s press conference in Akwa Ibom

Journalists in Akwa Ibom State have resolved to boycott a press conference planned for a former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, who is presently in the state.

A statement on Friday, by Nigeria Union of Journalists Akwa Ibom State Council, has directed all journalists not to attend any activity organised by the former minister.

The statement was jointly signed by the Council Chairman and Secretary, Comrade Amos Etuk and Comrade Dominic Akpan respectively.

Recall that Fani-Kayode has come under heavy criticism for calling a journalist with Daily Trust, Eyo Charles, “stupid” during a press conference in Calabar, Cross River State.

Eyo Charles was said to have asked Fani-Kayode, who bankrolled his recent tour of some Southern states, which he took offence to and assaulted him with abuses.
