The state chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) in Akwa Ibom state has directed its members to boycott a press conference planned for Femi Fani-Kayode, a former minister of aviation.
In a statement on Friday, the chapter asked journalists not to attend any activity organised by the former minister.
This came days after Fani-Kayode verbally assaulted a journalist for asking him what he described as a “stupid question” at a press conference after his tour of Cross River state.
But the former minister, in a series of tweets on Wednesday morning, said he regretted his action which had made him to offend many of his friends in the media.
