What of TVC that was busy showing Olympic during hunger protest.
That’s why I erased TVC from my tv and phone.

It’s so bad, that station is now competing with NTA as the official dumb media to Aso Rock. Watching Yori Folarin and Babajide is irritating.

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.

Signed:

Osigwe Omo-Ikirodah
Director, APC New Media Directorate

APC party is full of dumbs like their master Tinubu. They always avoid interviews cos they don't have anything in their heads,, their mission is just to grab power and do nothing with the power. Just sit on top power and make their citizens miserable through stupid policies. They have nothing to offer,, all of them are just the same.

“ 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”.

Shameless people.
They have campaigned against the dollarization of te economy, yet they still emphasis the use of the dollar in the economy that faces serious issues with the same dollar.

I watch Arise TV because of The Morning Show featuring Sir Reuben, Rufai, Ayo, and Ojy.

While Rufai is my favourite on the show, I cannot pretend that he acts unprofessional at times especially when analysing issues relating to APC and Tinubu.

Beyond that, the guy is GOOD!

Arise Tv is undoubtedly compromised, biased and often cantankerous in its presentations.


The job of a journalist is primarily to present issues in a politically detached manner while allowing viewers to come to their own conclusions.


But in the case of Arise Tv, they present issues from a subjective premise.


Rufai's inimical disposition towards the ruling party is as clear as broad daylight.



A little to the right, a little to the left so as to achieve objectivity and not from a predetermined bellicose and one-sided mindset.
