Frank Edoho confirms he will no longer host 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire' following disagreement with sponsors

There were reports earlier today that the popular TV game show 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' will no longer have Frank Edoho as the host due to disagreement with sponsors.

An organizer of the show however debunked the reports saying the split was amicable.

“The only difference about the show is that the star prize money has reduced from N10m to N5m. Also, it is very likely that we are not going to use Frank Edoho as our anchor. We are not dropping him because we had any issue with him. I think he feels it is time to go and find other endeavours.“For now, our viewers would only be able to play on the MTN platform till we are able to sort out ways whereby they can play from any network provider and that would be resolved very soon. We are under no obligation to play on the MTN platform alone. Airopay is thrilled to partner with Ultima Limited, whose passion and dedication to quality and world class productions are well known, by sponsoring the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Nigeria game show. Airopay is honoured by this partnership. Airopay and Ultima are convinced that the synergy between Airopay and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire game show will be mutually beneficial,”
the source said.

Frank Edoho who had a 13-year stint with the show has also confirmed this.
