Members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists in Akwa Ibom State decided that they won’t be part of a press conference planned for Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation in the state.
The former minister who has been widely criticised for calling a Daily Trust journalist, Charles Eyo, ‘stupid’ when he asked him a question during a press conference in Calabar last week, is currently in Akwa Ibom for a similar media parley.

However, the state NUJ in a letter signed by the Chairman, Comrade Amos Etuk, on Friday, directed its members to boycott the event as they would not have anything to do with Fani-kayode.
“In line with the disposition of the national leadership of our great Union, the State Council has directed that no journalist should attend a media parley with Femi Fani-Kayode or any of his activity at any location in Akwa Ibom State.
