Former “Your View” host, Morayo Afolabi-Brown, has admitted that her past comments about former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, were made without much knowledge of him or his record.
In a conversation with Chude Jideonwo, the media personality explained that her remarks were not based on personal familiarity with Obi’s performance in office.
“It was because I did not know him. After I made that comment, people called me and said, ‘Morayo, do you realise that when he was governor, he actually served us?’ So that was him. I said, ‘Oh, I did not know,’” she said.

The broadcaster also opened up about her personal struggles with depression, recalling a time when she “thought I was suicidal” and considered taking her own life. “I was depressed. It got so bad that I thought I was suicidal. I just left everything behind. I remember just walking on the express, hoping a car would hit me. It was that bad,” she revealed.
Afolabi-Brown stated that she decided to step away from “Your View” after the show’s tenth anniversary, saying she had “harboured that thought for a while.”
She further narrated a past incident where she was “sacked from TVC” until her identity was revealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
“People now call Asiwaju, ‘Do you know whose child was sacked?’ He said, ‘I’m not aware.’ He said, ‘This is the Alao Aka-Bashorun’s daughter. That’s when he knew it was me,” she recalled.
On a past controversy where she was accused of calling her husband a pedophile, she noted that the “First Lady’s intervention” helped her make peace and publicly apologise. Her exit from the show marked the end of her 12-year journey as its host.
