Yul Edochie, a Nollywood actor known for his controversial opinions, has lashed out at Arise TV presenter Rufai Oseni due to his recent interviewing style.
The incident in question occurred on Monday when Oseni and Jesutega Onokpasa, an APC chieftain, engaged in a heated argument during a TV show.
During the interview, Oseni and Onokpasa disagreed with President Bola Tinubu’s decision to remove fuel subsidies and the overall economic situation in Nigeria. This confrontation led to strong reactions from the public, particularly from supporters of the current administration, who accused Oseni of displaying bias.
In response to this incident, Yul Edochie took to Instagram to share a video in which he chastised Oseni, calling him disrespectful and urging him to be quiet. Edochie also questioned Oseni’s moral standing, referencing a previous incident in which Oseni was caught driving in a BRT lane in Lagos and initially failed to apologize until a video surfaced.
Edochie’s criticism of Oseni extended to his journalistic skills, suggesting that Oseni lacked the foundational respect for guests that should be an essential part of journalism training. He argued that Oseni was acting arrogantly and disrespecting his guests on national television, emphasizing that Oseni was not superior to any other Nigerian citizen.
