Yes sure mistake happens they get false information

That's why there is a thing called news-retraction

Hope you are Ok today?
You mean they boldly spread fake news without apologizing like Rufai

Or they break traffic rules while claiming to report the policemen that tried to arrest them for breaking a state law to the governor?

A CNN or Fox reporter who behaves like Rufai will be jobless by now

Press Release

The APC New Media Directorate strongly condemns the recent actions and statements by Arise TV anchor, Rufai Oseni, and the station's portrayal of our candidate, Senator Monday Okpebholo, through a misleading infographic depicting him as "running" from an interview. This deliberate attempt to smear Senator Okpebholo's reputation is not only unprofessional but reeks of a biased agenda designed to belittle our candidate.

Let us make it clear: Senator Okpebholo has no obligation to grant an interview to a platform that has already shown its hand in trying to ridicule him. Rufai Oseni’s claim that his invitation to our candidate is being "politicized" is nothing but a diversion from the real issue—his lack of impartiality and professional ethics.

Rufai Oseni has compared Senator Okpebholo’s decision to decline an interview with Arise TV to other candidates who have appeared on the station. However, the circumstances are different. We cannot ignore the fact that Oseni's tone and approach have consistently been confrontational when addressing issues related to the APC. It is therefore not surprising that Senator Okpebholo would choose to avoid an interview that seems to have been set up as a trap rather than an opportunity for genuine discourse.

If Arise TV and Rufai Oseni are so eager to have Senator Okpebholo on their platform, perhaps they should consider compensating him with a sum of $1 million. Only then might he entertain the notion of subjecting himself to what we can only describe as an act of media bullying. The integrity and principles of our candidate are not for sale, but such an offer might at least demonstrate a seriousness on their part that has thus far been sorely lacking.

We advise Rufai Oseni to revisit the ethics of his profession and refrain from further attempts to manipulate public perception for personal or political gain. His assertion that interviewing the APC candidate is "no big deal" is an understatement; it is a big deal when the interviewer is already seen as biased and partial.

To the general public, we urge caution in consuming content from media outlets that prioritize sensationalism over substance. Senator Monday Okpebholo continues to engage with the people of Edo State directly, sharing his vision and policies for the future. He will not be deterred by attempts to undermine his campaign through media antics.

Re: APC Replies Arise TV & Rufai Oseni For Calling Edo Guber Candidate For Interview by Jossy1980: 9:22am On Aug 13, 2024
APC and members are evil. Tinubu didn't appear for any interview because he has nothing to say and somehow he was helped to be the president. The current APC candidate in Edo is empty and he is hoping that Tinubu will give him and Edo APC Edo State as he promised.

It is a shame that a party can present a candidate that can't communicate to people his agenda. They are hoping to see any mistakes and use the court to take power as
they usually do.
Also I can't believe that there are still people talking and defending APC in Nigeria after this unprecedented hardship and multi-dimensional poverty the party and her leadership have pushed Nigerians into.
Shame

APC is a scam organization controlled by clueless criminals.
How can you be saying one thing and doing another? Is dollar now the currency in Nigeria?

Oseni Rufai that's already a mouthpiece for opposition is considering himself an impartial journalist. He's already a politician, another Omokri in the guise of journalist. Oseni will at last end up as a Special assistant on media and publicity to a politician. He has no carrier path in journalism, I can bet his journey in journalism will end with Arise News, except he comes up his own media outfit. No serious Media organization will want to employ a tainted journalist like him
