Senator Adams Oshiomhole clashed with Arise TV presenter Rufai Oseni during an interview as he defended FCT Minister Nyesom Wike’s political activities and support for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election bid.
In the video from from 20:16, The disagreement arose when Oseni questioned him about Wike’s Rainbow Coalition, a group involved in mobilising support for Tinubu ahead of the 2027 presidential election.
In response, Oshiomhole pointed to other governors, including Chukwuma Soludo and Ademola Adeleke, whom he said had also expressed support for the president. He questioned why Wike’s actions were being singled out and suggested that the presenter’s criticism stemmed from his personal position on the FCT minister.
The exchange became more confrontational when the former Edo State governor accused Oseni of repeatedly cutting him off while he was responding to questions.
Oshiomhole maintained that the presenter should allow him to complete his answers, insisting that guests deserved respect and that proper journalistic practice required patience when interviewing someone.
He also defended Wike’s record in office, drawing comparisons between the former Rivers State governor and Soludo. He argued that both had secured re-election despite having different approaches to leadership.
Addressing Oseni directly, Oshiomhole said, “You have no right to interrupt me when I’m replying. Let’s agree on international best practices. You must have the patience to listen to my answer. And you must treat me as a guest with respect. Rufai, I’m very ready for you; I also have the right to counter you.”
