The Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ), Akwa-Ibom council has ordered its members to shun the planned press conference organized for the former Minister for Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode.
This was contained in a statement released by the state council on Friday, advising its members to utterly snub the conference coming up in Uyo.
This reaction follows the fracas which occured between the fourth realm of the state & the former Minister.
Recall that, Femi Fani-kayode had been accused of vilifying a Daily Trust Correspondent, Eyo Charles at a Press Conference in Calabar, the Cross River state capital.
The journalist was said to have asked; who was bankrolling Fani-Kayode’s trips, but ended up being vituperated and called “Stupid” by the ex-minister.
However, Fani-Kayode after much backlash had retracted his words against the journalist, yet the union stands on protesting against what it perceives to be inappropriate.
