Why I don't like Abati is that he always thinks he is more clever than the next guy. Just look at how he side stepped the main issue on visiting Wike. The first thing should have been to confirm or refute if he ever visited Wike with his wife over the EFCC case? Not shouting that he have never begged Wike for money. That is so puerile. Just being clever by half. And again talking in condescending manner to Lere, that they are not mates is off the point of discussion. |

It is only those fools that believed the lies from one terrorist that Buhari was dead and cloned with one Jibrin from Sudan that will also swallow the lies from Abati. Before you criticise Lere Olayinka, please could you answer these questions and ponder on them: 1) Did Lere Olayinka allege that Abati went to Wike for the bailout fund? Is that what Lere said? Why did Abati never answer the allegation directly? Did he ever visit Wike for the issue he had with EFCC or not? 2) Why is there a contradiction as to why Abati was absent at the show yesterday? Rufai said Abati called in sick. The same Abati said he was engaged with another assignment. And this same Rufai will be forming holier than thou. I have noticed in life that those who knows how to criticise people could not take half of what they dish out to others. What a shame. |

creativejagaban:Your number 5, 7 and 8 points are great points and are sufficient enough to hammer Abatti and that Political Party Station called Arise! Imagine Abatti saying he went for a book launch while Oseni was saying something different. It’s obvious they are bunch of liars and when you tell a lie, you need 10 other lies to perfect your initial lie. Another thing is, the fact Abatti had once been a member of a political party and contested under such party will never give him the objectivity required in journalism. And lastly, Abatti proved himself to be a bully as you stated. Under no circumstance should he omit the third presenter even if he never said anything in his defence . Lere Olayinka really exposed their hypocrisy! |

Then Rufai lied when he said Ruben Abati was absent because he was sick..."call sick" |

Rufai said Abati was absent from the show due to ill health but Abati stated that he was at a book launch. Which should we believe? |

Atlantis585:Reuben Abati is claiming sainthood and the guy was ready to burst his bubble. So, he took cover. You can see him and his defense team on Arise TV giving different excuses for his absence. |

Dear Dr. Abati, but your irredentist -Rufai Oseni said you called-in-sick that morning. How come your reason for not been in the show is now against what your OAP, Oseni purportedly gave? I think the issue with your show is occasioned by poor management from Arise Tv directors. I don't blame them, they need the hullabaloo to stay afloat in this economic tough time. You as a PhD Holder, you need to be more careful before we begin to call your degree into questions, cos your public conduct is belittling a person of your academic knowledge. |

Abati you have left journalism to pursue cheap political propaganda. No matter how you try to criticize public officials, you shouldn’t be using derogatory languages in criticizing public officials. Regardless of how we know they are public officials and are always open to criticism, they are also human beings and have every right like other citizens, calling someone that he has not respect, etc you have left the journalism work and you are just doing your own thing. Which is totally wrong. Rufai is also a culprit to this. Criticize objectively without insulting who you are criticizing. |

The Wike that we all know, If Wike truly helped Dr. Abati in the past, with the way the morning show team normally criticize Wike, he would have long expose Abati on how he helped him. Secondly, Is Wike part of Buhari Government that he could have possibly help to beg on Dr. Abati behalf? Lere just came up with those lies to score cheap point. But a rational being can never believe such lies |

FreeStuffsNG:You beat me to it. I can remember Rufai boldly claiming that Reuben Abati called in sick... So there's either a misinformation or a lie somewhere. 🤷🏾♂️ Either ways, Arise TV presenters have continuously demonstrated political bias and partisanship which is against the ethics of journalism. I really don't blame Lere Olayinka for calling Rufai out. He's very unprofessional. |

jchioma:Lere Olayinka was the former media aide to Ayodele fayose when he was EKITI STATE governor. Dude was a tool to disprove APC and Fayemi then. |

rowland545:Absolutely. Listening to Lere Olayinka throw a simple conversation into an argument between motor park touts was embarrassing. He never makes any meaningful contribution to important state or national issues. There is no difference between him and touts in garages, who talk irresponsibly after guzzling some ogogoro. He had nothing to say all through and anyway, in the first place, had nothing to offer. He has the same mentality and agbero behavior, as his past and present principals. This nation is in trouble, when such leaders like Wike and Fayose hire such fellows, for the purpose of polluting media spaces with their lack of proper manners and reckless pomposity. |

I can't still believe that many Nigerians don't know that Lere Olayinke was brought up by the PDP. In case many of you don't know...the work is currently doing for Wike was exact work he did for his former boss(Ayo Fayose) of Ekiti State. Both Abati and Lere are products from the same company(PDP). They knew each other very well right from time.... |

Osemujie:You've not heard it all. Wike has helped so many PDP members bcoz he's well connected. Just stay tuned bcoz I know Wike will tell lere olayinka everything. Let Arise TV invite Wike and let's see if Reuben Abati will not be on admission in the hospital that day. |

johnhickson:Yes, he has to be. He came for a fight in defense of his principal but unfortunately for Arise TV, they didn't bargain for what they got. |

jchioma:lol.... It's better rufai takes his advice.......he said u should stop talking as if he knows everything and abati jst proved him right...... After Lere said abati was absent because he is now ameachi's spokesman and that he visited wike for bailout.... Rufai said that's a lie that he called in sick..... Now abati Don respond, he didn't call in sick.... Rufai was obviously lying on live television |
| Re: Reuben Abati Responds To Lere Olayinka's Accusations. by Baselm: 3:55pm On Jun 07, 2025 |
Cool response. However, I have some observations 1. His colleagues said he called in sick, in his response, he said he had an intellectual commitment. Either he or his colleagues are telling a lie. 2. Why didn't Rotus get an acknowledgement as part of the crew? Could it be an oversight or intentional? |
