Arise News anchor, Rufai Oseni, has lambasted Nigerian politicians over what he described as their intolerance for truth and celebration of failure as leadership.
Rufai spoke while responding to criticisms of his
journalistic style, calling out the political class for, according to him,
weaponising respect to silence dissenting voices.
According to him, when one tells the truth about the
hardship, insecurity and bad governance in the country, politicians see it as
disrespect.
The broadcaster further stated that when the same
politicians ruin the lives of citizens through failed policies, they celebrate
it as leadership.
"Nigerian politicians treat speaking the truth as
disrespect, while ruining citizens' lives is celebrated as leadership,"
Rufai declared.
According to him, Nigerians are facing serious hardship,
adding that inflation is on the rise amid worsening insecurity.
He added that when journalists ask tough questions,
politicians get angry and label them as rude or disrespectful.
The TV anchor asserted that until Nigerians start demanding
accountability and stop celebrating politicians who have nothing to show for
their years in office, the country will continue to go in circles.
