Exiles’ claims dashed as Obaigbena makes public appearance in Akwa Ibom

Amb. Cornell Udofia

Recent baseless rumours suggesting that the Chairman of Arise News and Publisher of ThisDay Newspaper, Olorogun Nduka Obaigbena, has gone into exile have once again been proven false.

In clear and undeniable evidence, Olorogun Obaigbena was present in Akwa Ibom State yesterday, attending the burial ceremony of the late Usoro.

The distinguished media icon was photographed in the company of eminent Nigerians, including Don and Mrs. Etiebet and Mr. Philip Ikeazor, the Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

The public appearance of Olorogun Obaigbena at such a high-profile event within Nigeria unequivocally invalidates the malicious claims propagated by certain individuals seeking to mislead the public.

How can someone allegedly “in exile” be seen participating openly in a public ceremony in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria?

This recent development is not only a testament to his continued presence in the country but also reinforces his unwavering commitment to truth, integrity, and the advancement of Nigerian journalism.

Under his leadership, Arise News and ThisDay continue to set the standard for credible reporting, transparency, and nation-building.

The public is hereby urged to disregard cheap propaganda and unfounded social media narratives aimed at discrediting one of Nigeria’s foremost media leaders.

The facts speak for themselves—Olorogun Nduka Obaigbena is in Nigeria, active, visible, and steadfast in his mission to elevate the standards of journalism.
