Gov. Akeredolu's media aide walks out of live radio programme over insult

Gani Mohammed Ajowa

The Senior Special Assistant to Governor Akeredolu on new media, Gani Mohammed Ajowa stormed out of a live program on  Breeze FM on Wednesday March 4 after being called a 'politician who works with the highest bidder' by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Assistant Director of Media & Publicity in Ondo State, Leye Igbagbo who also featured on the show.

Leye Igbabo and Gani Mohammed Ajowa were invited on ‘Fire 4 Fire’ show anchored by ace journalist, Adebisi Ajiboye popularly known as Sogigun, to discuss the achievements of Oluwarotimi Akeredolu who recently celebrated his third anniversary as Governor of Ondo state.

The duo however got into a heated argument after Leye described Ajowa as a 'politician who works with the highest bidder'. Governor Akeredolu's media aide insisted that the statement was disrespectful and fired back at the PDP representative by describing him as "someone who lacks respect for his elders".

He thereafter stormed out of the show angrily after a shouting match.

Reacting to the incident, Ondo State PDP in its statement said it is shameful for a government paid media aide to ''insult and denigrate a fellow citizen of the state for any reason.''

The party disclosed that they monitored the radio program and found no reason whatsoever for Mr. Gani Mohammed of the APC to have ''insulted'' Hon Leye Igbabo.
