Feeling Disappointed: Journalist Oseni Rufai Criticizes Siminalayi Fubara's Visit to President Tinubu
Politician Rufai opinionates homogeneously on political figures, asserting that their differences are merely a matter of power, as Fubara and Tinubu convene in Lagos.
Looks like suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has paid a visit to none other than President Bola Tinubu. And popular journalist, Oseni Rufai, isn't jumping for joy.
Rufai, during his appearance on Arise Television's Morning Show, voiced his disappointment towards Fubara's decision, explaining that people thought the suspended governor would show some spine in the face of the suspension and the state of emergency declared in Rivers State. But nope, it seems power and political interests still rule the day.
Tinubu and Fubara hash it out in Lagos on Tuesday, as reported by our website. The journalist opined that Fubara had been browbeaten by higher political powers, claiming that the visit doesn't negate the state of emergency and the ongoing court cases.
Rufai also pointed out signs that things might be looking up between Fubara and his estranged godfather, Nyesom Wike. The journalist stated that Fubara, for the first time in a while, seemed to be mending fences with his one-time political ally, suggesting a thaw in the frosty relationship.
In Rufai's view, politicians should move beyond their personal interests and prioritize values. He criticized Fubara's decision as a classic example of politicians playing the power game without considering the long-term implications.
