Arise TV abruptly ends interview with FCT Minister’s aide after clash on “The Morning Show”

Arise TV on Friday abruptly ended its interview with Lere Olayinka, media aide to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, following a clash between the guest and one of the programme’s anchors, Rufai Oseni.   The development occurred after Rufai, who has been at loggerheads with Olayinka, asked the minister’s aide to comment on Wike’s position on the controversy surrounding members of President Bola Tinubu’s 2027 campaign council.   Responding, Olayinka said he was not willing to answer questions from Rufai, insisting that he wanted the discussion to be with “reasonable human beings.”   “I don’t want to answer any questions from you. I want this conversation to be between reasonable human beings.   “People who will not describe other people as ‘Gbewudani’,” he said.   However, another anchor of the programme, Ayo Mairo, took exception to Olayinka’s remarks, reminding him that the Morning Show has three anchors.   “We take exception to that, Mr Olayinka. Before you came to this show, I’m sure that you are aware that we have three anchors on the show.   “Since you are coming to present yourself to the Morning Show, the onus is on you to present yourself to the three anchors, who are here based on their credibility,” Mairo said.   She subsequently ended the interview, saying there would be no further questions until Olayinka was ready to engage all three anchors.   “No more questions, since you don’t want to answer. We thank you very much for your time this morning and hope to see you again when you are ready to speak to the three of us,” she added.
