I’m Not Afraid, I’ll Never Be Intimidated – Seun Okinbaloye Fires Back At Wike

Channels Television anchor, Seun Okinbaloye, has said he is “not afraid” of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT.

Wike had said he would have “broken his TV screen and shot” Okinbaloye, over his comments that a one-party system would destroy democracy in Nigeria.

The minister’s remarks has attracted widespread condemnation, with Amnesty International accusing him of using “reckless and violent language”.

But Okinbaloye on Sunday doubled down on his views and said violent rhetorics have no place in a democracy.

He said: “The fact remains that our democracy is in danger if we allow one-way traffic in balloting.

“This is not a warning to the opposition or ruling party. But to all Nigerians who believe in the development of our nation.

“I received a call from the honourable minister, who clarified the intention was not as conveyed.

“While that is noted, it is important that violent rhetoric or threats are never appropriate responses to dissent in a democratic society.

“Let me clear: I am not afraid and I will never be intimidated.

“We may disagree and as humans we may err, but dissent must never descend into hostility or harm.

“I will continue to do what I love, asking the necessary questions and holding power to account.”
