Morayo Afolabi-Brown, the former television host has admitted that her past criticism of the presidential candidate of the Labour party (LP) Peter Obi, was made without proper knowledge of his record.
She further explained that her earlier remarks came at a time when she knew little about his achievements in office.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that she later realised she had been wrong after people drew her attention to his performance as governor.
“It was because I did not know him. After I made that comment, people called me and said, ‘Morayo, do you realise that when he was governor, he actually served us?’
“So that was him. I said, ‘Oh, I did not know,” she said.
She also revealed that her decision to leave Your View came after the program’s tenth anniversary.
She had been contemplating a change for some time, and reaching this milestone gave her the confidence that it was the right moment to pursue new opportunities.
She further narrated how she was once dismissed from TVC until her identity as the daughter of the late human rights lawyer Alao Aka-Bashorun was made known to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, after which she was reinstated.
“People now call Asiwaju, ‘Do you know whose child was sacked?’ He said, ‘I’m not aware.’
“He said, ‘This is the Alao Aka-Bashorun’s daughter. That’s when he knew it was me,” she recalled.
