Arise TV’s Rufai Oseni Blasts Peter Obi

Arise Television star, Rufai Oseni has taken the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), Peter Obi to the cleaners.

Speaking on Monday’s edition of Morning Politics Today, Oseni reacted to Obi’s interview on Channels Television, which aired on Sunday, saying:

“Presidential candidates should move beyond making broad promises and instead explain the specific ideas and methodologies behind their proposed policies.”

“That’s what I did not see yesterday. I didn’t see the how. We can’t run a country on vibes.”

“By now, if elections are in January, we are now in August, we have not seen manifesto. Six months to go.”

“Secondly, we are not seeing proper articulation of how you will do it.”

“In fact, I think all candidates should stop telling us I will do this. They should start telling us how. We should see an idea. It’s the idea that we want to debate, the workability of the idea, and that I didn’t see. I didn’t see a lot of that.”

“We will fix insecurity. How? And please, people should stop telling us ‘I don’t want to share my operational details’.”

“Nobody say you should share your operational details, because as a candidate, you can’t have operational details. Operational details are specific to operations, hence the name operational details.”

“Nobody say you should share that. What we are saying is overarching details, methodology, how you are going to do it. That’s just it.”

“I mean, these are things as regards technicality and methodology. These are the things I want to hear from our candidates.”

“Power sector, what would you do as regards them about creating thousands of megawatts? Major problem in the power sector today is transmission.”

“We have 13,000 installed capacity, but why are we not seeing more than 5000 megawatts capacity for transmission?”

“Are you going to put investment there? Are you going to raise the equity for the investment? I mean, those are paramount questions. So please, we want to see more of those details.”
