In a highly charged on-air exchange, controversial journalist Rufai Oseni engaged in a heated argument with Oladotun Hassan, a prominent member of the All Progressive Congress (APC), this morning. The focal point of their intense debate revolved around the ongoing certificate controversy surrounding President Bola Tinubu.
The certificate saga emerged after weeks of legal battles, following the release of President Tinubu's academic records by Chicago State University, the institution he claimed to have graduated from. The release of these documents, sought by lawyers representing PDP's Atiku Abubakar, has triggered a wave of mixed reactions.
Members of the APC assert that the released documents validate President Tinubu's academic claims, while opposition voices argue that the documents suggest a potential forgery of his certificate.
During the live broadcast this morning, Oladotun Hassan was responding to questions regarding the certificate issue when Rufai Oseni interjected, accusing him of resorting to emotional blackmail tactics at one point in the exchange.
The clash on air underscores the growing tension and division surrounding this high-profile certificate controversy, casting a shadow over the political landscape as the nation approaches crucial elections. Public reactions to this confrontation have been varied, further fueling the ongoing debate over President Tinubu's academic credentials.
