‎THE MEDIA COLLECT MONEY FROM WIKE AND THEN ALLOW HIM TALK SENSELESSLY - Dr Reuben Abati

Nigerian scholar, Lawyer and prominent media personality, Dr. Reuben Abati, has accused the media of collecting money to allow the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, to make disparaging remarks against political opponents.

‎Reacting during the Arise TV’s The Morning Show programme on Tuesday, September 2, Abati faulted the media for giving Wike the platform to talk what he described as senseless talks.

‎“I blame the media. The media is giving him platform to disparage other political opponents. Yesterday he was talking about Peter Obi, Goodluck Jonathan, Nasir El-Rufai. What gives him that moral high ground to talk recklessly and unintelligently?

‎“The media are the ones going to interview him, and they are the ones collecting money to put him on the air. If he is talking about the FCT, yes fine.

‎“But if he is disparaging other political opponents, the media has an obligation to give all the other persons that have been disparaged a right a reply.

‎“We should not create a situation whereby for momentarily reasons, the Nigerian media is sucking up to a Minister of the Federal Republic who in my view is overreaching himself.” He was.

‎“Wike is not in a position to talk about character. In fact, he should question his own character. I don’t know why people have problems with basic intelligence and decorum. He goes on television, and he says Peter Obi doesn’t have character.

“Peter Obi left PDP and went to Labour Party. Now he is in ADC. In fact, it is Wike himself that destroyed the party
