Ex-convict should not interview law-abiding Nigerians on TV – Wike’s aide tackles Rufai Oseni
Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has lashed out at television personality, Rufai Oseni.
Olayinka described Rufai as an ex-convict who should not be allowed to interview law-abiding Nigerians on television.
In August 2022, Rufai was accused of driving on the BRT lane on Lagos highway and also resisted arrest by policemen.
He was dragged before a Lagos mobile court and was charged with flouting Lagos State Transport Law of 2018.
The court found him guilty of driving on the BRT lane in contravention of the law and was fined the sum of N70,000.
The TV presenter was said to have paid the fine and subsequently got his vehicle released to him.
However, Olayinka posted on X: “Normal normal, ex-convict @ruffydfire no suppose dey work in a TV station and be saying I PUT IT TO YOU nah.
“In Nigeria, an ex-convict mustn’t hold public office until after 10 yrs.
@ruffydfire was convicted in 2022.
“An ex-convict working in @ARISEtv and interviewing law-abiding Nigerians is an aberration. He needs our prayers.
“Ex-convict @ruffydfire needs our prayers. Let’s pray for him. He has graduated from psychology to psychosis.”
