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 startling allegations about the Igbo community’s role in fostering ethnic bigotry in the run-up to the highly anticipated 2023 general elections. Mr. Hassan also directed accusations towards Arise Television and one of its anchors, Rufai Oseni, for their alleged contribution to the prevailing tensions through negative reporting.
During the interview, Oladotun Hassan claimed that Rufai Oseni’s line of questioning seemed to favor the Labour Party (LP) and insinuated that he had adopted a political stance. This accusation hints at potential bias within the media landscape, which is supposed to provide an unbiased platform for political discourse.
