During an interview with Arise , Oladotun Hassan, A member of the APC, stated that when the Igbos threw a lot of banter at the Yorubas and called them names, the nollywood actors from the Igbo side threw it into the media, and Arise TV contributed negatively to it. He stated that he has evidence to back up his claims after being told to prove them.
He revealed that he has to come on air to clear up some of those things because most of them are not right. He revealed that he reassured Igbo people of their safety in Lagos, but their action caused a reaction from the Yorubas.
According to him, “In view of the fact that we are all citizens, there are certain things I’ll come on air and have to condemn. I have come several times, and even the last time that I was here, I condemned some certain statements and reassured Igbo people of their safety in Lagos, but for the fact that for every action, there’s a reaction. When the Igbos go on air, trying to throw a lot of banter at the Yoruba people, calling them names, it is all there. Even the majority of our practitioners, nollywood actors from the Igbo side, saw how much they were throwing into the media, and I must say sincerely, Arise equally contributed negatively towards all those things because some things were reported negatively. “
