The broadcaster also weighed in on the controversy surrounding the recent abduction of schoolchildren and teachers in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State.
Following the rescue of the victims by the military, Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde called on the United Nations to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. The governor also suggested that the abduction could be connected to his political ambition after announcing plans to contest the 2027 presidential election.
Makinde’s comments attracted criticism from the Federal Government and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who maintained that Nigeria has the capacity to address its own security challenges without foreign intervention.
Reacting to the development, Oseni described the disagreement between the governor and the Federal Government as an unnecessary exchange of blame.
He argued that attention should instead be directed toward improving national security and preventing similar incidents, noting that the rescued victims had safely returned to their families.

Makinde had also suggested that the abduction might be linked to his political ambition, noting that the incident occurred shortly after he announced his intention to contest the 2027 presidential election.
However, Makinde’s demand drew criticism from officials of the Federal Government and members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), who argued that Nigeria is a sovereign nation capable of handling its internal security matters.
Speaking on the development during ARISE Television’s Morning Show, Oseni described the exchange between Makinde and the Federal Government as a blame game and unnecessary.
According to Oseni, the focus should now be on finding lasting solutions rather than engaging in political arguments, adding that the victims have returned home.
