Former Presidential spokesman, Reno Omokri has urged the Bola Ahmed Tinubu government to stop patronising the AriseTV alleging that the controversial station and its crew were up for mischief.
Omokri also alleged that Arise TV was pursuing an agenda and business decision ” to dishonestly sabotage the economy by passing off lies as news to drive viewership from Obidients and maintain Peter Obi as a viable candidate.
“No Minister or heads of any Department or Agency of Government should accept their invitation for an interview, or respond to their inquiries, stories or accusations. Bayo Onanuga, and other media handlers of the Nigerian Presidency should stop responding to them. Ignore them. In terms of viewership, Channels Television, TVC News, and Nigerian Television Authority are far ahead of them, according to the latest figures from Statista, the world’s preeminent data provider based in Germany” Omokri said
Arguing further Omokri said ” The Bola Tinubu administration has to understand that Arise Peoples Party have made a business decision Therefore, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu should starve them of their oxygen.
“Stop enabling them. Do not allow them have a codependent relationship with the government. Let them bring in Labour Party people and continue to tank their trust factor by branding themselves as the propaganda arm of the Eluupee movement. That is the best way to deal with Arise News, the Fake News Network!”
