Frank Edoho will not be the host of popular family game show ”Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” when it returns, after disagreement in negotiations with Ultima Limited.
The show had been off-air since June following withdrawal of sponsorship by MTN.
But with a new sponsor in Airopay, the game show would be making a return soon, according to reports.
However, it will not return with its revered host, Edoho, who announced on Twitter in the early hours of Saturday that he had declined to continue hosting the show as there was disagreement bwteeen him and the show’s producers, Ultima Limited.

It was gathered in a report by Punch that the organisers had yet to engage a new host even though it said it had no problem with Edoho, adding that it was an amicable agreement.
”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,” a source is quoted by the newspaper as saying.
