The Chairman, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), Abike Dabiri-Erewa has told Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of the THISDAY Media Group and Arise TV Nduka Obaigbena to caution his staffs
Speaking via her Twitter handle on Tuesday afternoon, Abike wondered why the station anchor, Ayo Mairo-Ese would accused her of calling Nigerian youths cultists and drug dealers on her show.
Commenting UK-based Nigerian Youtuber, Emdee Tiamiyu comment about Nigerian students in the United Kingdom, Mairo-Ese had blamed both President Muhammadu Buhari and Dabiri-Erewa of leading the campaign against Nigerian youths.
“I don’t know why Nigerians like to demarket Nigeria on the international scene. Take it back to 2016, our president, the Chief ambassador of Nigeria referred to Nigerian youths as largely lazy and that the United Kingdom should not grant young people asylum because some of the Nigerian youths are criminals.
“The Chairman of NiDCOM, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission, Hon. Abike Dabiri had referred to Nigerian youths as cultists and drug dealers, some of them. So, what Emdee Tiamiyu is saying is what some of the leaders have said.”
In her reaction to, Dabiri who worked as a broadcast journalist for years before veering into politics, berated Arise TV anchor for working against law and tenets of broadcasting
“I worked hard to be where I am today, and if women nowhere your age and achievements feel the only way to bring you down is spew nonsense, they will meet their waterloo ! Nduka Obaigbena had better call these girls @ARISEtv ruining the broadcast profession to order”, she said
