Netizens have expressed disappointment with Arise TV anchor, Rufai Oseni, and Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, over their online attacks against each other.
The exchanges followed the drama that unfolded when Olayinka
appeared on Arise TV’s Morning Show programme on Friday.
Recall that the interview with the
minister’s aide ended abruptly after he refused to respond to questions from
Oseni.
The development divided Nigerians, especially social media
users, who took online to express their views.
Following the incident, Oseni and Olayinka resorted to
online attacks against each other, raising questions about the cause of the
prolonged face-off.
In one of his posts on X, Oseni said: “With all the noise if
you think I will stop doing my work because of you! Hahahahah! You are
mistaken. Again, we start again!
“In fact I will be speaking at Alliance France’s Ikoyi this
evening. Pls make plans to be there!”
In response, Olayinka took to the comment section to attack
the journalist, calling him “Mr born by mistake.”
“Congratulations Mr BORN by MISTAKE.
“Hope you won’t go there with BODYGUARDs like you did when
you went ALONE to the burial of your dad then as there were no friends and
family members to go with you.
“Àso anìkàndájẹ̀! Person wey nobody dey relate with in his
father’s family, except his other maternal siblings Bose, Wemimo and Kingsley
born to his mother’s real husband.
“Mind you, it is I WILL BE SPEAKING, not I WILL BE SPEAK.
Pressure ti wa,” he wrote.
However, some netizens cautioned both parties against making
derogatory remarks about each other and urged them to maintain decorum.

resolve to use this level of very petty comments and abusive words to make his
point, then it is highly disappointing and an unfortunate one.”
@olatawurasegun said: “Please, bro can you stop, both of you
are brothers, the sons of Oduduwa.”
@Oluwafemif39675 added: “You can make your point without
necessarily being abusive. What then is the difference between you and the man
you are trying to bring down?”
