A mild drama played out on Arise News today after former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hilliard Eta, accused the broadcast station of ignoring the infrastructural achievements of the Tinubu administration.

.....

Speaking during a live broadcast on Sunday, May 31, Eta claimed that Arise News and other media outlets focus disproportionately on negative report ing. He further alleged that certain media organizations exhibit a celebratory tone when reporting on the nation’s security challenges.

‘’I have never seen your station begin to profile the infrastructural projects that is in place today and  how it will impact on the Nigerian state, Even now…We watch Arise very keenly. Arise has become an opposition political platform. 

Even in the profiling of the security situation in Nigeria, it seem as if there is a celebration of what the militants are doing to our country. You have a sense that there is some kind of celebration about these ungoddly attacks on Nigerians”

Responding to him, Adesuwa Giwa-Osagie ;

‘’We all have to deal with serious mental health stress from reporting these stories everyday, from seeing their mothers and their fathers…it is individually painful to Nigerians in a way that it may not reach the political elite”
