“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.’”
Yul Edochie claimed that Oseni only apologised after the incident was captured on video, adding:
“If not because somebody had a video, you could not even apologise. If there was no video, what would have happened?”
The actor also criticised Oseni’s conduct during interviews, accusing the presenter of making guests uncomfortable.
“How can you invite somebody and make the guest uncomfortable?” Edochie asked. “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?”
He further described Oseni’s confrontational style as disrespectful, saying:
“You are insulting people on national TV. You’re a very disrespectful person. That is not journalism.”
The resurfacing of this clip comes after Oseni and Kenneth Okonkwo clashed on Arise TV, reigniting discussions about the broadcaster’s interviewing style and public persona.
