Media personality, Frank Edoho, has explained that his exit from Who Wants To Be A Millionaire followed the withdrawal of the show\u2019s sponsor, not a sacking as widely reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on an episode of The KK Show which was published on Sunday, Edoho said a newspaper report claiming he was dropped from the programme was false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host recalled that he spent four years working at Radio Nigeria, the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, before television offered him the fame radio could not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edoho said Who Wants To Be A Millionaire ended after its sponsor, who had backed the show for a decade, withdrew support following a regulatory penalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that the Federal Government had<\/p>\n\n\n\n

fined the sponsor over a corporate matter, and the resulting financial burden forced the company to end its involvement with the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edoho said he entered negotiations for a stake in the show after learning that new sponsors were interested, believing his years on the programme had made him an asset to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the negotiations broke down over disagreements, and his absence from the relaunched show under its new sponsor led to speculation that he had been dropped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edoho maintained that the report of his sacking was untrue, describing the experience as a betrayal after years of work on the show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
