The recent media onslaught against the former Chairman of Skye Bank, Mr. Tunde Ayeni is targeted at frustrating the acquisition of Nitel and to ensure it is deprived of needed funds to execute its work plan.
According to a retired director of the Ministry of Telecommunications who preferred not to be named, the mafia behind the recent media campaign are the same as people who have sworn to retreive the former national telecom company from Natcom since the company won the bid and launched its brand, ntel, and introduced to the market the most sophisticated 4G services .
He said:”It is quite sad how in Nigeria we dig our own grave and we cry that we are not making progress. I just saw on an on line medium some grave allegations about Tunde Ayeni and his stewardship in Skye Bank.

While I do agree that office holders should be accountable for their actions, I wonder whether this should be in the media. One would wonder what the real intent of Skye Bank or whoever is behind that story is. Having petitioned the President of this country, why hastily bring the same allegations to the media?
The intent of this is either to conduct a media trial and convict the person (given Nigerian’s general phobia of not wanting to be in the press), or to pre-empt the President and blackmail him to act in a particular manner.
