This Day Editor Shaka Momodu and The Morning Show co-host Rufai Oseni have both received requests from high-ranking APC campaign officials to leave their current positions in order to “stop the attacks or get a reprieve from a future Bola Tinubu presidency,” according to the Board of Editors of This Day Newspaper and Arise Television, which made the announcement on Monday.
The media organisation claimed in a joint statement to journalist with the title “Tinubu and ThisDay/Arise Media Group and the Attack on Free Speech” that they would cower to pressure from the ruling APC.
