Oseni Rufai, a host on Arise Television, has responded to an article by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, a writer who has received widespread praise around the world.

The author reportedly criticized the United States Department of State for congratulating Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the president-elect of Nigeria, despite the fact that the election process was tainted.

The author cited accusations of widespread violence, ballot box snatching, voter intimidation, and other malpractices that plagued the February 25 poll in an open letter to Vice President of the United States of America Joe Biden.

She questioned why a country that places such importance on the rule of law can support a president-elect who was elected through a fraudulent process.

The newscaster for Arise TV said that her report provided an accurate account of the 2023 elections.

Those who disagree with him are challenged to find even one fabrication in the piece.

He claims that few of the commenters have actually read the article.

Through a series of tweets on his account, he made this declaration.

His words:

“Chimamanda’s article offered a clear description of what happened in Nigeria during the elections. If you disagree, please provide an example of a false statement made in Chimamanda’s piece.
