Frank Edoho quits as host of "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" Tv Show

During the week, it was announced that popular family game show, Who Wants To Be A Million would be back on air with a new sponsor, Airopay. And after 13 years of hosting the popular show, broadcaster, Frank Edoho will cease to host the show
effective immediately.

 Following a partnership with Airopay, which is a global international payments operator, the show’s producer, Ultima Studios Limited, said the show has been revamped.

To this effect, the Managing Director of Ultima Studios, Femi Ayeni, said the show’s anchor, Frank Edoho, will likely be dropped.

“The presenter may not be returning as a host this time around but he remains a part of the team. We will also encourage him to partake in the auditions which will see us have a befitting replacement if need be.

Mr. Ayeni revealed at a joint press conference in Lagos;
“We will be getting a younger presenter but Frank remains a part of WWTBM. We will air highlights from captivating past editions of the show for about 5 weeks until we get a new anchor for the show,”.

Confirming the development, Frank tweeted, 'Kindly allow me announce,that after a disagreement in negotiations with @Ultimalimited I have decided to decline hosting WWTBAM any further'.

An organiser of the show is also quoted to have said, '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'.
