One of the major political parties in the 2023 general election, the Labour Party (LP) has issued warnings to Nigerians especially the youths ahead of the commencement of the popular reality show, Big Brother Naija (BBNaija), tagged: ’The Titans’ scheduled to start on Sunday, January 15. According to the chief spokesperson of the Labour Party presidential campaign committee, Dr Yunusa Tanko, during a press briefing in Enugu on Wednesday, January 11th, the show is targeted at distracting Nigerian youths from casting their votes on the election dates.
Dr Yunusa Tanko in his statement also claimed that the reality show was being sponsored by an opposition party as he linked a son of one of the presidential candidates to be an active collaborator of the show.
BBNaija Titans starts on January 15th 2023 and the organizers announced plans for a new season of the Big Brother show but with a different twist. The new season, which is tagged Big Brother Titans, is to be a combination of both Nigerian and South African housemates. However, the organizers kept the number of housemates under wraps and noted that it will be revealed at the show’s opening ceremony.
