US Broadcaster exposes Remi Tinubu on blocking her from covering up things happening in Nigeria f

During a recent episode of Washington Watch, U.S. television host Tony Perkins claimed that Nigeria’s First Lady, Oluremi “Remi” Tinubu, approached him with the intent of appearing on his show to talk about religious freedom in Nigeria. Perkins said he declined — not just politely, but firmly — because he did not want his media platform to be used, in his words, to “cover up what they’re doing in Nigeria” regarding allegations of violence against Christians.

When media platforms become judges of narrative truth rather than passive transmitters of statements, how does that reshape the relationship between power, legitimacy, and public understanding?

Because the refusal wasn’t about one interview.

It was about who defines what gets counted as credible narrative on the world stage.

That’s why this moment matters beyond politics, beyond one person, beyond one programme.

Jaiyeorie — this is why it matters.
