Presidential spokesperson Daniel Bwala has slammed TV show host Rufai Oseni for asking to interview President Bola Tinubu and former vice president Atiku Abubakar
Oseni made his desire known in a social media post, saying, "I will like to Interview Mr Atiku and President Tinubu. One-on-one. 50minutes! 6 questions, 5 follow-ups!"
Reacting, Bwala pointed out that such was awkward because Oseni is a supporter of Peter Obi, who is running for president against Tinubu and Atiku.
Bwala said, "He will antagonize, criticize and blackmail the very people he is dying to interview, just so he can get their attention. That is his mojo.
"The entire architecture of his endeavors rest around, hate, vitriol, fake news and blackmail.
"He is hiding behind the set whilst pursuing the cause of Peter Obi . As the chances of his principal peter Obi diminishes by the day, he gets increasingly frustrated and fights anyone in sight including his fellow anchors.
"Clout chaser. You are not worthy to interview the President . Dr Abati and Ojy are not only ahead of you but they are also your seniors and they possess the emotional intelligence required to handle serious issues. The only person you are qualified to interview even by your station’s standard is Peter Obi because with you and him it’s all part of content creation
"If you are smart, you would have known by now that you are only useful to the station because of the controversy your nuisance value generate; (ditto, your interview with your principal peter Obi) when the same principals of the station want to engage with serious people , they don’t send you. they send serious people with knowledge and emotional intelligence."
