In a recent interview on Arise Television’s Morning Show program, Oladotun Hassan, a former member of the dissolved All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council, made controversial allegations regarding ethnic tensions in the run-up to the 2023 general elections. Hassan specifically accused the Igbo community and Arise Television, including anchor Rufai Oseni, of fueling ethnic bigotry and negatively impacting the political landscape.
During the interview, Hassan expressed his dissatisfaction with the way questions were posed to him, suggesting bias from Oseni, whom he claimed asked questions as if he were a member of the Labour Party. Hassan further stated that certain individuals, such as Datti Baba-Ahmed, had made seditious and criminal statements that undermined the electoral process and citizens’ values. While acknowledging the competitive nature of elections, Hassan argued that the actions and rhetoric of the Igbo community, including some Nollywood actors, were inflammatory towards the Yoruba people.
