YUL EDOCHIE: OSENI HAS NO RESPECT

Nollywood actor, Yul Edochie, has publicly criticised Arise Television anchor, Rufai Oseni in a viral video circulating on social media.

In the clip, Edochie questioned Oseni’s moral authority to challenge political leaders and guests on national television, referencing a past incident in Lagos where the broadcaster was reportedly caught driving on a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane.

“Is this not the same Rufai Oseni that was caught driving on BRT lane?” Edochie asked.

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.’”

He alleged that Oseni only apologised after a video of the incident surfaced online.

If not because somebody had a video, you could not even apologise. If there was no video, what would have happened?” he said.

The actor also accused the Arise TV presenter of being disrespectful to guests during interviews.

“How can you invite somebody and make the guest uncomfortable?” Edochie queried.

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?”

Edochie further criticised what he described as Oseni’s confrontational approach on television.

“You are insulting people on national TV. You’re a very disrespectful person. That is not journalism,” he said.

Defending President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Edochie urged critics to accord the President respect and give his administration more time.

“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President of Nigeria, whether you like it or not. He is our President, you must respect him,” he stated. “The man just came in. Give him time. Rome was not built in a day
