Rufai Oseni, Arise TV’s Morning Show co-anchor, has reacted to the statement of Vice Presidential candidate of the APC, Kashim Shettima against the Labour Party candidate, Peter Obi.
Shettima had on Thursday, while speaking on a program organised by the APC professional forum, accused Obi of offering dubious statistics.
He said: “Peter Gregory Obi, I call him Gringory.
“Gringory is my friend but Gringory has absolutely nothing to offer apart from dubious statistics.”
Reacting to Shettima’s statement on Arise TV, Oseni asked Shettima to counter Obi with a fact-check of the false statistics which he said were made by him.Â
He said; “He’s a fellow candidate. If you have problems against him, state your logic. You can never go wrong with logic and facts. You said his facts are not right, then fact-check him, he always said go and verify.
“I think what you should have done if you have a problem with his statistics is to point out the stats that he has said are not right. If you can’t, then don’t say it. Let’s deal with facts because people are watching,” he added.
Oseni had in October, stated that he is eagerly awaiting the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to show up for an interview on AriseTV.
Oseni disclosed this via his official Twitter page, expressing that other presidential candidates have granted interviews to the channel.
He wrote; “We eagerly await the APC presidential candidate for an interview on AriseTV.
“We have had Obi, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Sowore, and others.
“We will like to hear his ideas for Nigeria and chat about them!”
