Oshiomhole accuses Rufai of 'one-sided punching' during interviews

Senator Adams Oshiomhole made a light-hearted accusation against Arise Television anchor Rufai Oseni during Tuesday's Morning Show, claiming Oseni consistently attacks him during interviews. 'You fight me everyday,' Oshiomhole said. 'I watch you. And you do one sided punching and I'm like, one day, we will see.' The exchange came as Oshiomhole also addressed his recent disagreement with Senate President Godswill Akpabio over amendments to the Senate Standing Orders. The senator had previously criticized the handling of the amendment controversy, insisting lawmakers must be properly included in decisions affecting Senate procedures and internal operations. The incident highlights the sometimes tense relationship between media personalities and political figures in Nigeria, with elected officials often feeling scrutinized during television interviews. Oshiomhole's remark appears to be both a complaint and a challenge to the journalistic approach used by the anchor.
