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.

The incident comes amid intense political discussions on Arise TV as politicians and commentators continue to debate alliances and the 2027 elections.

Rufai Oseni and Reuben Abati regularly feature in political discussions on the programme.

The heated exchange between Rufai Oseni and Reuben Abati has now become a talking point among viewers.

Who do you think made the stronger argument, Rufai Oseni or Reuben Abati?

Abati should have never been a journalist he is biased

Even as a spokes person for Jonathan then he was playing house

Shouting "lawsuit" at fellow media personnel is a political threat to muzzle opposing viewpoints.

Abati's bank records should be scrutinised. It looks like Wike may have paid in something tangible to boost income.

Rufai oseni supposed to be doing documentary on animals in the forest.

Rufai is a reckless journalist

Abati will always support Tinubu his kinsmen 🤷‍♂️.

Correct! Rufai should be calming down sometimes, but you see Dr. Abati, na snake em be.

Oseni will still land himself in trouble and none of his online Obi supporters will be Able to help him. He will still complicate himself. Obidients will push him to his end . No be today them dey do am ... Very hypocritical people. He thought they loved him until he has problems with their own even if their own did him bad they will expect him to accept it like that ... Very unstable people

What the whole episode even goes beyond the exchange. It shows the extent of their un- professionalism. Even when the director of the program seem to be calming them and Ojy was stressing that the director said they should move on, for several minutes, non of them heeded the call.

Highly un- professional station.

A newbie should not start a career here.

This Abati guy is fishy. Seems he's been bought over to tame Rufai.

And Abati is highly temperamental.

They can disagree to agree without being disagreable.

If either of them is tired of working at the station, they should find the door already, Rufai especially. Perhaps he could do a better job than Randy Peters for the Agulu Nomad.

Abati is part and parcel of this present rotten Nigeria.

He's a lover of everything corrupt and hate the new Nigeria we so desired.

Abati will have no place in the new Nigeria.

If people don't support Obi they are fishy , nawa ooo

U don't call people unprinted names... Abati is right... Rufai should go for a 2 weeks course in journalism... Obidients go push am go jail one day... Bookmark this

He will always be with his kinsman,trust abatti at your own

Tenses:
Abati is part and parcel of this present rotten Nigeria.

He's a lover of everything corrupt and hate the new Nigeria we so desired.

Abati will have no place in the new Nigeria.

Eeyah! Sorry ehn!
Abati na him be the next accuse ba?
Everybody go use una play ping_pong until
una borrow sense.

Abati is a politician and a PDP card-carrying member.

He was the running mate- Deputy Governor candidate to late druglord Buruji Kashumu when the later contested the Ogun Guber elections in 2019 under the PDP flag.

These 4 individuals they always make me laugh when they are their round table

I wish Nigeria is a sane nation! Corruption has made people, journalists, lawyers and other professionals not to say things the way it is. Imagine if Abati and Rufai should face each other on a foreign platform in US or western Europe will Abati use such words of threat? He will choose his words wisely.......... #Bwala in mind#

then TINUBU was supposed to be doing what?😁

Abati is a saboteur. Very careless.

The trajectory of the matter is that because of the wealth of experience Dr. Abati has during his time at the state house. That's is the reason is trying to protect rufai. And try to caution him abt how to demartet most of the politicians that support the president and the government itself.

What Rufai said was a fact.
Can anybody say why PDP has not sanctioned Wike for anti party activities?

What has the presidential candidate of the PDP said about the matter.

How many people even know him.

Rufai called him a common placeholder using a yoruba slang .

REUBEN ABATI NA TINUBU BOY

I am not even aware PDP has a presidential candidate.

Who is the person ?

Those two journalist,one is anywhere belle face and a snake,the other one is plenty mouth no action.

Nduka the runaway Arise TV boss where are you? You see the I d I o t you emoyed as a staff? We will shut down Arise TV and dock this educated herdsman called Oseni the whole world will beg for his release and we won't release him.

We are waiting patiently for him our hands go touch him soon then we will see that juju he believe on to save him...

Peter Obi is playing you people in the APC , you still dont understand his approach this time around, and you are uncomfort of how to approach your him. He just reshuffled his close aids and you people and running around already. Try that madness you people did in 2022 by calling him obituary or display any form of madness and see where you will land your self.

Arise TV is the most unprofessional media house in Africa.

I can't think of any other station that is this terrible.

Anyday Reuben Abati is not on air, I don't watch their program cos he's the only one that tries as much as possible to bring professionalism to the station.

For Rufai, he has no business being a journalist. He's so unrefined.

He will do well managing a pig farm somewhere in Remo or Sagamu.
