https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5xPfTENzZo The political heat surrounding FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and APC governors is intensifying ahead of the 2027 elections. Following Wike’s controversial comments about the APC Governors’ Forum and his Rainbow Coalition, Reuben Abati and Rufai Oseni weigh in on the unfolding political debate.
Wike has defended his support for President Bola Tinubu while insisting that the PDP and other political parties should remain free to field candidates in governorship and legislative elections.
But with APC governors rejecting political arrangements they believe could affect the party’s interests, questions are emerging about party loyalty, political alliances and the President’s position.
PresidentMUGABE: To me, this is bigger than politics. Obi understands that Nigeria cannot be rescued by one man or one political party. It will take unity, competence, and genuine sacrifice. I said it before, and I will say it again: Peter Obi is a master strategist. 2027 will be very interesting. The best leaders don't create enemies everywhere. They build bridges for the future. And for me, Peter Obi and Seyi Makinde remains the best.

MATV: Drama on Arise TV: Rufai Oseni, Reuben Abati Clash Over Wike Comments During Live Broadcast
There was a heated exchange between Arise TV anchors Rufai Oseni and Dr. Reuben Abati during Thursday morning’s edition of The Morning Show, after the two journalists disagreed over comments concerning FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and the 2027 political landscape.
The argument became intense enough that the producer and co-host Ojy Okpe reportedly had to intervene to bring the exchange under control.
The disagreement reportedly started during a discussion about comments made by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike and how his political activities and statements were being analysed on the programme.
At one point, Dr. Reuben Abati cautioned Rufai Oseni over what he described as statements that could expose the station to legal action.
Rufai Oseni, however, pushed back against the warning, suggesting that Abati’s reaction was connected to their disagreement over political views.
Oseni responded: “It’s only when I disagree with your views that you start shouting lawsuits.”
The exchange quickly became heated, with both journalists talking over each other before the intervention from the production team and Ojy Okpe helped to bring the argument to an end.
The moment has since attracted attention online, with viewers reacting to the unusual disagreement between the two familiar faces on The Morning Show.
