The planned One-on-One interview with former President Olusegun Obasanjo billed to hold on Sunday December 8, 2024 on the popular monthly interview discourse, BOILING POINT ARENA, is eliciting great interest from Nigerians and media groups across the globe.
Already, four radio stations, three in Nigeria and a London-based television station are collaborating to transmit live the interview.
Fresh on the deal is Eagle 7 Radio 103.7FM, Abeokuta owned by legendary footballer and entrepreneur, Dr Segun Odegbami.
Eagle 7 Radio, a popular sports station with massive audience base across Ogun and Lagos States, also attracts fans who are greatly endeared to the presentation skills of Dr Odegbami particularly with his every Saturday programme on radio: “90 Minutes With Mathematical”
The current affairs programme which holds via Zoom, will also be transmitted live by Sweet 107.1FM, Abeokuta and WASH 94.9FM, Lagos, even as an unnamed television station in London is also to hook up to extend wide reach for the interview.
This coming edition of the global online discourse is the 26th installment since its debut in November 2022. Kick-off time for the interview is 8pm over a two-hour duration.
The topic of discourse is: “One-on-One Interview With Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, His Legacies in Governance and his Assessment of Today’s Nigeria”.
The once-in-a-month current affairs programme with an incredibly large online followership, is the brainchild of a Media Professional, Dr Ayo Arowojolu, who parades 34 years multi-varied work career spanning the media, banking and education sectors.
Obasanjo who has had the sheer grace of ruling over the nation for 12 years is eminently qualified to make a thorough assessment of the Nigeria Project and pinpoint at what point exactly did the fortunes of the once-acclaimed Giant of Africa began to nosedive.
The Owu, Abeokuta-born retired General will also speak on his legacies while in government, both during the Military days and during his eight years two-term tenure especially the state of the economy, the nation’s debt profile, welfare of Nigerians and insecurity.
Expectedly, Obasanjo will also assess the leadership capacity of past Nigeria leaders, those before him and succeeding Presidents after his tenure as well as the incumbent President Bola Tinubu.
Foremost traditional ruler, the Olowu of Owu Kingdom, Oba Prof. Saka Matemilola, is expected to deliver a keynote address to herald the discourse, in his capacity as Chairman, Boiling Point Council of Royals and Elders.
According to a statement by the Chairman, Organizing Committee for the programme, Dr Eddy Ademosu, one of Nigeria’s notable Public Relations Icon, the interview discourse will in particular point the way forward for reinventing the nation.
Dr Ademosu commended the Management of Sweet FM, chaired by its Promoter, Senator Olugbenga Obadara, Eagle 7 Radio Founder, Dr Odegbami and the owners of WASH 94.9FM for identifying with worthy causes through partnering with the Boiling Point platform to widen the audience reach of the programme through terrestrial and online channels.
