Veteran broadcaster Frank Edoho has shed light on the real reason the Nigerian edition of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire went off air after 13 years, while also debunking claims that he was dismissed as the show's host.
Edoho explained that the long-running quiz programme came to an end after its principal sponsor withdrew financial support in the wake of a major fine imposed by the Federal Government.
According to the television personality, the sponsor's exit made it difficult for the programme to continue, ultimately bringing one of Nigeria's most successful game shows to a close.
He also dismissed reports that he was sacked, clarifying that he resigned from the show in 2017 after serving as its host throughout its 13-year run.
During his time on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Edoho became one of Nigeria's most recognisable television presenters, earning widespread praise for his engaging hosting style and contribution to the show's popularity.
His comments have renewed public interest in the iconic programme, with many viewers reflecting on its impact on Nigerian television and the memorable moments it delivered over the years.
