A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe has vowed to boycott Arise Television until one of the TV’s presenters and show hosts, Rufai Oseni, is laid off.
The APC member was reacting to a recent face-off that ensued between the Minister of Works, David Umahi and Rufai during an interview on The Morning Show.
Igbokwe in a Facebook post on Tuesday, said until Rufai is sacked, he will not appear on the TV station, stating that the station has “become a TV Station of anything goes”.
He added, “I will never go there again until Rufai Oseni is removed.
“The Animal Science graduate is making a mockery of Journalism. Television Station is not a place for mediocres and noise makers.”
According to a trending video, the minister, who was furious over some questions that were put out to him by Rufai regarding the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Road, asked the show host to keep quiet.
Umahi claimed he is a professor in the field of engineering and has vast knowledge regarding the federal government projects.
But Rufai became inquisitive and demanded to know the year the minister became a professor.
