Yul Edochie, a Nollywood actor, has criticized Rufai Oseni, an anchor on Arise Television, calling him disrespectful.
According to Naija News, Yul accused Rufai of being rude to visitors and making them uncomfortable during interviews in a video posted on his social media page.
Citing a previous instance in Lagos State where the broadcaster was found driving in a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane, the movie star questioned Rufa Oseni’s moral authority to confront government leaders and guests on national television.
According to him, Oseni didn’t issue an apology until a video of the incident appeared online.
“Is this not the same Rufai Oseni that was caught driving on BRT lane?” asked Edochie.
When you were apprehended by authorities, you shouted, ‘Do you know who I am?’ rather than offering an apology. I will give Lagos State’s governor a call.
“You wouldn’t even be able to apologize if someone didn’t have a video. What would have occurred if there had been no video?
“How can you invite someone and cause them to feel uneasy?
“The first thing you should do if a guest is uncomfortable is to apologize and put them at ease. How can you let a visitor know that they are free to leave the studio if they are uncomfortable?
“On national television, you are disparaging people.” You’re a really rude person. That isn’t journalism.
Yul Edochie defended President Bola Tinubu’s administration by pointing out that Rome was not built in a day and urging detractors to give the ruling party more time.
“Jagaban President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the President of Nigeria, whether you like it or not,” he said. You have to show him respect since he is our president. The man entered just now. Give him some time. Rome was not constructed overnight.
