He used the opportunity to condemn the way that political office holders disregard journalists, saying this should not be so

“I want to say the disregard of political office holders for journalists is uncalled for, it’s appalling because every celebrity is a product of journalism.

“There is no any celebrity in Nigeria that is not the media that produce that celebrity. Some people may not have the opportunity in their daytime to ever see Obasanjo or Buhari or Kwankwasu. But they will start to see them on television as a result of journalism.”
