APC Chieftain Demands Rufai Oseni's Dismissal After Clash

Joe Igbokw, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has demanded the dismissal of Arise Television anchor Rufai Oseni after a contentious interaction with Israeli Ambassador Michael Freeman during a live program. The incident occurred on a morning show where Oseni and Freeman engaged in a discussion about the ongoing crisis in the Middle East.

During the conversation, Oseni interrupted Freeman, which led to a heated exchange that quickly gained traction on social media. Igbokw criticized Oseni's behavior as "rude" and "unbelievably arrogant," insisting that it was unacceptable for a journalist to conduct themselves in such a manner, particularly when addressing sensitive international matters.

He called for disciplinary action against Oseni, stating that the station should remove him for being untrained and unprofessional. As of the report, Arise Television had not issued an official statement regarding the controversy surrounding the incident.
