Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has slammed Arise Television anchor, Rufai Oseni, describing him as disrespectful.
Yul, in a video via his social media page, accused Rufai of being disrespectful to guests and making them uncomfortable during interviews.
The movie star questioned Rufa Oseni’s moral authority to challenge political leaders and guests on national television, citing a past incident in Lagos State in which the broadcaster was caught driving in a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane.
He claimed that Oseni only apologised after a video of the incident surfaced online.
Edochie queried, “Is this not the same Rufai Oseni that was caught driving on BRT lane?
“When officials caught you, instead of apologising, you were shouting, ‘Do you know who I am? I’m going to call the governor of Lagos State.
“If not because somebody had a video, you could not even apologise. If there was no video, what would have happened?
“How can you invite somebody and make the guest uncomfortable?
“If a guest is not comfortable, the first thing you do is apologise and make the guest feel at ease. How can you tell a guest that if they’re not comfortable, they are free to walk out of the studio?
“You are insulting people on national TV. You’re a very disrespectful person. That is not journalism.”
Defending President Bola Tinubu‘s administration, Yul Edochie urged critics to give the ruling party more time, noting that Rome was not built in a day.
He added, “Jagaban President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President of Nigeria, whether you like it or not. He is our President, you must respect him. The man just came in. Give him time. Rome was not built in a day.”
