i wish Dr Abatti was this bold when they interview Atiku
Yes bro he was so deluded by atiku
So true! Hmm!
Don't mind Reuben, he is a disappointment, the Atiku interview was is even recorded, and no serious questions, they know what they are doing
What type questions do you want him to ask Atiku?
Absolutely he wasn’t.he totally left Dr Abati at home on the day. He should not forget Gov. Wike has a right to think he is very important as far as the party is concerned
In 2015 , Abati was PDP Deputy Governor aspirant under late Senator Buruji Kashumu..he is more of a politician than journalist
Not in 2015 but 2019
@@soothingrelaxationwithsmit2716 it's 2019
That was a great puncture in Dr Abati's profile for ever agreeing to run as deputy under Buruju Kashamu. I think once upon a time Dr Abati was damn impoverished and will accept any offer and sometime in his analysis of politicians, I could still see he's definitely fishing around 🤫
So what is wrong with a politician turned journalist? Is Ruben from Ogun state or Bayelsa State? If I call recall Kashumu is from Ogun state
Dr Ruben think say Nigerians don forget!
Who else was wondering, at some point, if Reuben was talking in his capacity as a journalist or a PDP official?. He got so emotional that drawing the lines became difficult!!
I have noticed this before.
Not only him, the station may likely belong to a PDP member.
When they interviewed otiku, they only asked sweet Questions and not challenging questions
@@Transportinfo77 which 1 is sweet and bitter questions again
You think you no the job better then you should be in the studio
He has always been like this. Go and check his interviews with APC and other parties.
He has a short fuse. I wonder why the man easily provoked.
@@seungwaemmanuel134 what type of fuse do you have? Are you perfect in your ways why are quick to pass judgment
If you're not easily moved and carried away you would ignore without commenting
I have listened to Wike in his interview. He simply suggested that you should do investigative journalism. It's fact he said. Sometimes, you are biased and ethnocentric.
Then what did Abati do to Wike??
Reuben is not sometimes biased but always biased. His not fit to be a journalist
Wow!! Unbelievable! Abati couldn’t control himself on the national TV, it’s so obvious that he’s actually a PDP member.
The man has no business being in journalism. It was this same man that insulted a fellow journalist on national TV for calling him his name. The man is too proud and always claiming seniority
So you people continue to bow to politicians!so only politicians has the right to criticise people and the journalist has no right to criticise the politicians. You people need to take a queue from the western world to see whats obtainable
@@adedapooni4494 Abati's job portrays him as someone with superior mannerisms and it's expected of him to behave so. Abati is not a politician so he should stop behaving like one
No Abati is APC member
Who knows what the motivation is?
I don't know why this Abatti is always too proud. He is accusing somebody of feeling entitled and at the same time he is showing all-knowing entitlement mentality.
Because of PhD in Theater Arts. He moves around as if he is rocket scientist or neurosurgeon.
It's the Zoo mentality, called ottelectuals. It's rife in 4frica. you can't tell me nothing mentality while country is sinking they are blowing grammer
@@okorojnr Nigerians una no go kill Person with una mouth
Dr Reuben's comment is highly disappointing. He is just sounding more like Atiku's media officer, his objectivity was clearly impaired.
Yes
Now I understand why my brother Rufai was not sent for this interview.
Dr. Ruben needs to watch it.
He is looking for appointment from Atiku
Rufai is Very direct and that's why they might have an issue with him... He doesn't need a script to ask questions
@PM IQ You can shout that…..I’m never a fan of Dr Abati, i never like his way of journalism….he’s always partial in his analysis…look at how immature he sounds here…shame on him!
Dr. Abati has the rights to berates any one that berates him..Gov. Wike's action is totally uncalled-for. He should leave a journalist to practise their job. This is an explicit evidence that Gov. Wike influences the news reported by Rivers states' media houses...
@@b.c.34 do you now say journalists get it right at all time????….Dr Abati response simply shows he has a hidden grudges for Wike!
Reuben. Look at you repeatedly referring to the governor as Wike, Wike. Yet, it’s on record how you tore into a young female reporter and berated her for calling you by your first name without the title, ‘Dr’. If this is not hypocrisy, please define it for me. I don’t care what’s happening between you and Gov. Wike (and I’m not holding brief for him). You should regulate your response better than what you displayed in this clip. Your erudition should not result in intellectual arrogance.
I think all this insistence on titles in Nigeria is as a result of our exaggerated sense of entitlement as a people.
Abi o! I watched that interview. Pot calling kettle black!
You sabi book welwel and you come get sense join. Your observations are true on Dr Abati's hypocrisy and you called it what it is. 👌
You took the words out of my hands. i was just about to type this. 59 year old Wike. Fantabulous
@@asd_911 Ruben is 70 years old man
He is still an employee for that matter
Wike is a simply a piece of a bigger puzzle. Don't worry, as the cookies continue to crumble, Peter Obi and his team will continue to wax stronger and gain favour with God and man.
They are so blind to decode it
All the commotion in APC and PDP will work out good for OBIdeniet people God willing!
Dr. Abati, with all due respect is still a PDP man as seen in this outburst.
Very clear
Abati is soft on Atiku for his next job. He is using the Arise platform for self promotion. Do not be surprised if he is a consultant for the Atiku campaign.
😀😀😀 PDP Journalist
I tend to agree with you on this hahahaha
It's the perogative of ABAT to choose his VP!
This outburst shows that Dr. Reuben is a bonafide PDP member
I studied Journalism but I don't think I can delude myself that I am in the same class with Abati who was a Journalism teacher or something but I am totally ashamed of how Abati practices his own Journalism these days.I have said this again and again in the past .Wike does not have the capacity or intellect to teach Abati Journalism according to Abati.I agree.Wike is not a Journalism professor he is a lawyer but that means he has some intellectual capacity he is not a moron.All these big grammar because he expressed an opinion that you people should have engaged in investigative Journalism to have more insight on Atiku and his claim? I have seen him use almost the same expression for an IPOB lawyer during an interview.During an interview recently he had an outburst of anger on live television against someone he was interviewing and told the interviewee that that was his studio and that he was in charge and that the poor fellow had no right to mess with him in his domain (not exactly in these wirds) In my comment I did tell Abati that pride is a bad thing.The problem with Abati is that he feels he knows so much.In his bloated and deluded thinking he is the only most highly educated person in the media.I have seen him again and again lose it on live televisions.In saner climes he will have his ass kicked out of the media or at least get a writeup!I put it to Abati that he should be ashamed that he does not have a media outfit of his own since 1985 when he started Journalism according to him.He still works for people with all his so-called high intelligence and shakes and genuflects to his bosses in Arise TV so as not to lose his job.John Momoh was just an ordinary news caster when he founded Channels Television.That is what smartness means.With all his connections as a media aide to president Goodluck Jonathan and all his education and I-know-it-all attitude he is still an employee but feels so so self important.Abati pride is a bad trait.Work on your temper.Work on your deportment in public.Work on emotion control measure. Work on your pride!
Beautifully said. The man don dey too vex. Not exactly how a journalist should behave
I agree with you this abati is too full of himself.
NOTHING TOO PERSONAL FROM WHAT ABATI HAD SAID!
I understand that working for an organization is more of collectivism and promoting organization identity. However, that does not take away your individuality and professional identity or image. I think there's nothing TOO PERSONAL in what Abati was saying.
His professional image and individuality were crushed and dented in the eye of the public he serves by Wike. He's speaking up to put things in the right context before the public as well as preserving his career and professional image which was dented by Wike.
Sometimes people outside your job profession tend to present themselves as though they know your job better than you.

Nothing too personal here and Abati has the right to use his professional platform to react appropriately to what was alleged against him.
Abati, well done
As journalist Chinedu, you missed your punctuations🤣🤣🤣. Anyway, I agree with what you've said.
@@abio7264 Chinedu was making a comment on Social Media not writing TOEFL or JAMB English exam.
Arise TV that we love should disengage this Atiku supporter so that non-partisan journalists can ask issue base questions as 2023 presidential election gets closer
I am telling you. When he comes to OBI matter he systematically demarkets him. The man is part of Nigeria's problem.
Dr. Abati has been far from a professional in recent times.
Exactly
There are no professionalism in niggeria when it comes to journalism because in niggeria they help fulani herdsmen terrorists in Aso rock to spread false information. They are still calling Buhari do this,buhari do that when they all knew buhari died and buried in saudi Arabia in 2017 .Therefore,is that professionalism to you and can that happen in a country of human beings such as US,Britain,Germany etc
I agree

@@vision8527 that interview by Abati and Tundun Abati is one of the worst interviews in his history. He did not demonstrate maturity and depth in his rebuttal. He took things too personal.
Abati has been writing since 1985 and has been on television for 22 years. Wike has succeeded immensely as a politician in ways Abati has not. We remember that Abati tried to be deputy governor and failed woefully. I agree that Wike does not have the intellectual cognizance to teach Abati journalism, Abati too is not politically mature to teach Wike and pontificate about politics.
Abati doesn't like Wike. My conclusion isn't based on this clip alone. He insulted Wike several times by calling him a kid throwing tantrums. Abati is not impartial.
Reuben Abati you have so drifted processionally and professionally by venting your personal anger as a journalist to a public persona of whom you have responsibility towards. This is the second time you're showing this professional misdemeanor on an international platform of which you're supposed to carry its brand's excellence just because you were mentioned. If you chose a public profession then you must be ready for public scrutiny. I think we do no longer need this REAL IMMATURITY of yours anymore as viewers of professionally sound content.
Dr. Abati has the rights to berates any one that berates him..Gov. Wike's action is totally uncalled-for. He should leave a journalists to practise their job. This explicitly shows that Gov. Wike influences the news reported by Rivers states' media house...
He has the right to do so in a personal capacity but not on this platform. That's just being childish.
Wike that's been emotional you didn't mention his name Nigerians enh una matter too dey hard
When wike call him out you didn't mention it when he now call Wike out now you're saying he's emotional, shay Ruben na oil he dey use for body
He has right to be emotional
Reuben should stop pretending to be a journalist. He should declare his PDP faction!
I watch this program because of Rufai. Tudun is APC. Reuben is PDP. Rufai is Nigeria. OJ is moderator .
You don't want politicians to teach you your job. But you sit there trying to teach politicians their job. What a hypocrite !
Absolutely true 👍
Any Tom Dick and Harry can be a politician, just ensure you canvass for vote from family and friends, pronto! you become one
The guy reuben will spoil things for Arise, he should be cautioned
Politicians have no job but duty to answer questions from press and voters...simple.
I nor no were ur mumu come from
You are partisan. Very personal. You weren’t as forceful condemning Wike as the lackadaisical interview you conducted with your preferred candidate.
Who is his preferred candidate? many questions were asked Atiku about the source of his wealth and other questions. wike does not have right to criticize any journalist, he does not have any moral obligation to criticize others. he chose to contest against the southeast candidates which was their turn to produce PDP candidate from the zone. he should go and sit down and stop throwing tantrum.
Dr Abati is saying the truth as it is at the moment. Does Wike want to break PDP into two because he couldn't clinch the Presidential or VP candidature? What then does Wike want? For Atiku to prostrate for him so that he can pledge his support for Atiku/ PDP?. Or For PDP to give him Atiku's or Okowa's Presidential or VP slot?
Wike's time, romance, eautiful brideship and self righteousness would soon come to a rest soon when he's no longer in government and those wooing him will no longer journey to his Mecca.
A journalist should not be speaking like a motor park tout in a live broadcast, no matter the provocation!
Reuben Abati is a PDP journalist. He works for PDP while getting his salaries at Arise TV.
Shame on you Abati. You went so low this time. Exchanging words ,using Arise platform is unprofessional. Your interview of Atiku with Tundun at the comfort of his bedroom speaks volume.
He is crazy not a journalist why acting people he is unprofessional
This guy is extremely unprofessional, maybe he thinks he’s in his parlor wearing boxers talking recklessly. Petty as hell

Egbon, I guess you're working for somebody. But I'm sure, Gov. Wike will respond to you at the appropriate time.
Toronto are you working for wikedman.... that kill igbo people in obigbo 😂😂😂😂
Freedom of speech is guaranteed but freedom after speech is up in the air.
You are a true prophet of our time
Egbon ni bo? He's nobody! I'm just so angry and ashamed of Abati. He thinks his PhD makes him exceptional.
He should be sacked!
This is why we love Rufai and Tundu very mature journalist!
But she was just smiling sheepishly all through the interview with Atiku, as if she won lottery
Dr. Abati sometime shows immaturity in the process of his work
Yes he does
So so immature. Must you call his age? Is it your father's resources? Do you like what APC is doing to us in Nigeria. I hope.you are not a shareholder in arise tv?? Better resign before you spoil market for them... Shashasha kwoi!!!
Dr. Abati should be anchoring programs like tales by moonlight.
@@dominicigbojanu9209 I thought so too
And he is so arrogant
Lol..all of this should play out to PO's advantage. Nigeria must be resecued.
Hmm! That's true!
Amen
Keep deluding yourself. 😁😁😁 You want to rescue a gone country. 🤣🤣
I thought David Hundeyin was joking when he said Arise news is far from what it used to be. I can see the level of emotional imbalance in Abatti
Abatti has lost completely, such a shame to his discipline.
This man is an embarrassment to the profession of journalism, his emotional outburst is primitive and uncivilized.
Abatti and tundu did very bad with atiku interview we was giving a pass without grinding him thoroughly all politicians are scared to be interviewed by Mr rufai oseni
Osas Osasco,
I agree with your assertions about that Atiku interview, very, very lacklustre, not at all what Nigerians want today, the culprit is Abati not Tundun. She was brow beaten to acquiesce. We know she has got it in her for fierce, no nonsense Journalism. She and Rufai remain very foremost at top echelons of Journalistic purity, but she should avoid been used.
You mean Rufai, the OBIdient" journalist?
@@aliarahumaleeya9241 yes... Rufai the free, fair, equity, equality, none tribalism, none biased and none sentimental journalist.
@@aliarahumaleeya9241 Yes Rufai the Obidient loyalist who has scrutinized Obi the most. We know Abati as an Atiku loyalist but he was very unprofessional in his cut and join interview at Atiku’s home. It was just a Bromance convo!
Tundu most especially was so scared to ask questions you could see it in her face , the expression she sometimes looked at abati to see if she missed it or have said something out of line , to me that interview was totally scripted .. put this politicians on a proper hot seat and stop going to them with questions given to you by them . Rufai would have been a better person handling that interview he is more non-partisan than Ruben
The man speaking on the video sounds like someone with a skeleton in his closet. When journalists are investigated, people do see unexpected truth. Investigative journalism by journalists is good, but investigating the journalists is better.
In this case, Yes. Abati has a huge skeleton in his closet. In general he is a fantastic journalist. However, when it comes to Wike vs Atiku. Abati is trying to hide, but we can tell whose side he is on. Nigerians are not stupid.
Look at his lying mouth, weyrey ti gbowo! Arise should just take away this dirty 2 mouthed journalist from the morning show, he's soiling the show. We all know he's a PDP dog. He's always saying half truth and most times tend to block Rufai & Tundun from speaking their mind. He is a disgrace to journalism to be candid.
He has oooo!!! Right questions where not asked to atiku it was obvious
@@Criticalthinking01 Please.tell us his area of excellence. Givebus links to his body of work. After all this boast and abusing a sitting governor, time to begin review his body of work plus his P.h.D dissertations. Amala journalism do taya us.
Abati has been insulting Wike for weeks. Wike was silent, Abati keep calling him a a kid throwing tantrums in need of a lollipop. On this issue, Abati is a disappointment. Abati has shown himself as a supporter of Atiku. Many of us were trained to read between the lines. Abati doesn't like Wike as much as he likes Atiku. That's okay, but don't pretend.
Simple truth is that Abatti has risen to the top of journalism through mediocre and safe practice and now he thinks he has arrived and can insult anyone.
Reuben Abati has once again confirmed that he is a card carrying member of PDP
Warrrrrr start... Governor Wike and Dr Abati have become the latest rappers in town going at each other. We are now waiting for Wike’s reply.
Hahahahaha no b lie!
Big WAHALA dey Nigar O. May God help use ALL.
Southerners fighting themselves everywhere. Northerners plotting how to handover power to Atiku.
I was wondering why Dr Abati and Tundun Abiola were lenient during that shameful and pitiful excuse for an interview they recorded at Atiku's residence. Now it's clearly obvious because he's a PDP member. He even ran along side late Senator Buruji Kashamu for office of deputy governmor in 2015.
Continue clear or dirty how is that an issue for you
Lenient in what area?
Is Tundun a journalist? I see more of her make ups and hair do than the profession itself, the name Abiola even resonates more than her voice.
There’s something between Atiku and Abati. His arrogant attitude is becoming obvious. I wonder if his utterances were professional and within the ethical guidelines of journalism..
That's why Rufai remains the best.
The owners of Arise had better known that Rufai is the main reason we watch them. Once he leaves, Channels tv will take over.
Tundun will only speak english and portray her father as a saint, like we haven't lived in Nigeria long enough to know he is as crooked as the rest.
Abati, is still a PDP man and needs the mullah from Atiku for his pocket, towing the line of Reno. They both need someone to sponsor their political aspirations.
Personally, Rueben Abati is probably the journalist whom I have the highest respect for his intellect in Nigeria followed by Tundun Abiola but add poise and class to her. I still keep cuttings of his articles from when he was a columnist for The Guardian in the 90s. One piece he in 1993 titled 'A Hollow Symbolism' remains a standard for me. I actually think that he writes far better than he speaks. Unfortunately, he has been quite disappointing lately with his tantrums and penchant for joining issues with people who cross him. If Abati cannot manage the emotional diffidence required to operate in the television journalism space, he should go back to print and continue writing. I hate to see such a giant of the industry damaged by avoidable run ins with people who far less intellectually capable.
Succinctly put.
Unforced error on Mr Abati’s side.
He has this anger management
Dr Abati, why are you upset? He singled you out because your interview with Atiku Abubakar was less than impressive. Firstly, why was the interview pre-recorded, why was it held outside your studios, why was Rufai left out and the questions were not hard enough. Bring back Atiku into your studio and let Rufai be there to interrogate Atiku. No preferential treatment to any of the aspirants.
Well put! The interview with Atiku was pathetic and unprofessional. Atiku walked over them. That's why Arise News left out Rufai, because they knew that Rufai will ask Atiku tough questions. Shame on Arise News.
Btw, Tinubu needs come for an interview. His the only presidential aspirant that has not had media exposure.
Lol Ruben its obviously biased after he was dragged for poor journalism
bias n lack manners as well
Atiku lied that he has been talking with Wike, and sending people to him. Wike said no one has Specifically identified themselves as been sent by Atiku, (unknown numbers calling Wike.) Wike further said that Atiku knows his house, Dr Abati allowed emotion to cloud his professionalism, its okay we are all humans and we tend to react in defence when attacked....lol
You are on point 100%
So Atiku should visit him in his house? Who the hell is Wike? If Wike thinks that he has electoral value he should decamp to another party and contest and see what will happen to him
Dr. Reuben is a legend
I listen and watch Arise news everyday, but a little disappointed with Dr Abati out pour on Wike, I kind of feel that he expressed personal anger than the said Journalism.
Did Dr Abati ever agree to deputising Late Kashamu? If it's true, I will categorically class Dr Abati as a hussler like most of the politicians and I think he's strategising himself for an opportunity or position. Can Arise act wise now or will regret it soon.
Disgusting ego shows Abati as more of a political commentator, rather than authentic Journalist.
Abati has never been a journalist. HE DOESN'T HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF A JONARLIST. HE HAS EVER BEEN A BROWN ENVELOP CURRUPT MEDIA PERSON.
As soon as I started watching this video, I shook my head in dismay about his choice of expressions, Dr Abbati. He seems a shadow of who I've mostly listened to. And I agree with most of the comments I've read here about his seemingly emotional and partisan (?) comments.
Dr. Abati, you are right. The PDP members abandoned the party after the loss in 2015 and it's Gov. Wike that was there, hence his laying claim to the 'ownership' of the party.
I like Gov. Wike, but he is taking things far. I am not PDP sympathizer, but the way things are going in the party shows that Nigeria politicians do not have the interest of the masses at heart.
My people, I am OBIDIENT and YUSFUL.
I disagree with you a little bit.
How did Wike lay claim to owing the party?
The man has always worked hard for the party.
He is a top Governor of a top state. Definitely that comes with some perks.
Wike always say things the way they are and Nigerians don't like people like that.
He was silent and this same Abati and co. where complaining why he is silent. Then he came out to say something they are now attacking him. That is not fair at all.
Believe me, if you were the one who held a whole national party together for 8 solid years, you will do more than Wike. Wetin the man try.
He try nor be lie
You are not any better Reuben Abati!
As a journalist, you don’t voice out your personal views about national issues on a national TV station. Dr. Abati was 100% wrong for his outburst. Journalists are meant to be 100% neutral in their work.
He speak from nose
NOTHING TOO PERSONAL FROM WHAT ABATI HAD SAID!
I understand that working for an organization is more of collectivism and promoting organization identity. However, that does not take away your individuality and professional identity or image. I think there's nothing TOO PERSONAL in what Abati was saying.

Abati, well done
Let him help us put more fire. Make Wike and his fellow Governors join Peter Obi.
Good work Dr Abati, how you go get money "if you no talk like des". Please fire Wike more Atiku will give you more money and Wike will eventually leave the party with his sympathisers. Keep the fire ON, please. Be OBIdient.
So, when Gov. Wike bullies and attacks Dr. Abati for doing his work of journalism, you expect Dr. Abati to cower to Gov. Wike's agbero-combativeness. No now! Dr. Abati's responses are excellently in order! The same Gov. Wike insulted Mr. Peter Obi for leaving PDP! And, Mr. Peter Obi, in his usual humble manner, ignored the insult! Unfortunately for Gov. Wike, Dr. Abati is not Mr. Peter Obi, who ignores insults.
Abati now has a dog in the fight.🤣 Abat's response was totally unfit. I hope he takes note of it in the future. WIke has a right to denounce any lies no matter how small it is. loli pop or not. No one can just treat Wike anyhow, I feel for Wike. Anyone in his shoes would. Not just because he lost, but because of how he has been treated. Hope Wike now learns something about Nigerian politics.
Abatti is not biased he is right... He has facts
Thank you
What a show of shame! This should be shown in the school of journalism on the topic - 'How not to practice Journalism'. Abati has just dragged his name and indeed the organization he represents in the mud with this rant. If Wike's outburst was 'throwing tantrums', then what do we call yours? You spent 6 minutes talking ill about an individual who referred to you in maybe 1 sentence? What a massive lowly descent. I hope up and coming journalists will look elsewhere for mentorship as I sincerely pray they don't turn out this way.
😂😂😂😂
Exactly
The guy is a hack with exaggerated sense of self.
You journalist have a way of painting this whole story to what it doesn't seem like
Yup.
Abatt his a PDP member he lied pass lie Muhammed
Honestly, I am disappointed in Dr. Abati. Why all these choice of language for a man who speaks the truth the exact way it is?
The man has been silent they were complaining, now he comes out to say something they are painting him bad. I don't understand these so called journalists.
@@ChuckFrankie exactly what wike said he the interview that he kept quiet just like every other person did...but this journalists both in arise and channels has been painting this whole issue to what it dosent seem like
Can he talk to Atiku like this?
This is unnecessary Abati. Wike is throwing tantrums and what are you doing?
It's a yeoman's job.
Dr. Abati can't be trusted because he is an APC OPERATIVE, though subtly.
There'll be a payback for these tantrums if the Waziri Adamawa or BAT wins . Media adviser of a Cabinet rank. Watch.
This guy is so pained lol, y’all have the same characters so entitled and proud
💯 100% Noise Maker.. noise Maker is understatement.. Nyesom Wike is just a Market Woman he talks too much, honestly this kind of man their wife has so much problem for being with this kind of man... Watching from Austria 🇦🇹 Vienna.. God bless you sir Mr Reuben Abati.. kudos to you sir... power 💪💪💪💪💪..,⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.. i give you 7 star .. thanks so much Sir
This man is a disgrace to AriseNews... he needs to be taken away before he do more harm... listen to him talk and you know where his loyalty lies... The interview with AA was a shamble
how can you say he is a disgrace?
It's not about loyalty, but about Arise TV and Atiku. It was the same thing when Dr. Abati and Tundu interviewed PMB.
Rather you are a disgrace because you cannot stand up to your politicians and confront them!Dr abati does that on a daily basis just like Rufai he speaks up and confronts the politicians
What a shame !. Reuben Abati is declining real bad. His ego is irritating. Yesterday it way a young lady calling you by your first name. Today it is governor Wike teaching you journalism. Tomorrow we don't know what will be in our faces. Can the Arise buisness owner just do the needful and remove him from the cast. He is evidently partisan and it can be very irritating to hear him rant.
Why will wike called him out?
There's nothing irritating here. As for the girl calling him by his name, I believe you should know that that's improper. Would you call your senior colleagues in Nigeria by their first names? Rufai, Tundun and Ojy don't call him by his name. You should know that this is a cultural thing.
Wike should have respected himself and not attack a Journalist
Thought I was the one seeing that
@@sholaaiyetan2968 bro senior or no senior colleagues there is nothing wrong in an office environment for someone calling you by your name... It Nigeria here you people take seniority like gate pass to heaven this is why we haven't developed because we allow such things get in our way...his he Jesus that they can't call him by his name not like his the girl father his a colleague nothing more, and yes I support wike because in the interview he was biased in his questioning for Atiku
Best spoken from Dr Abati..
What a shame! Emotional response from Dr Abati not professional.
What is the essence of committee members that majority picked Wike when Atiku knew he already has someone else in mind? That is the root of the problem.
You are right
Chai, Reuben don collect money I swear.
That interview he conducted on Atiku was shameful and lacked merit.
Rufai should have been used instead.
If Reuben continues this way, Arise TV will soon collapse.
I swr u feel am, I be think say na only I see am... Ruben just be like RENO them don collect money and all this kind people dey spoil the country so

Reuben Abati The PDP Member Couldnt Hide His Emotion...Capping Vertically, Senior Man No Dey Caprisone.
Dr Abatti is right in the sense that after 2015 PDP left all the party financial responsibility for Wike in which PDP was very wrong to have done that and of course Wike is also now very right because haven spent so much money 💸💸💸💰💰💰 to carry PDP since 2015 till the very just recent PDP Presidential primaries. PDP should be grateful to Wike.
I repeat PDP should be very grateful to Wike and appreciate Wike properly.
Did wike use his personal money or the state money to sponsor a federal party or not?.wike is very arrogant.
Even if he used the state money not all state governors can do so
@@incoming3497 Yes
@@incoming3497 you use state money to sponsor a political party while the indigense of your state are dying of hunger and diseases, what a foolishness 😒.
Thank you Sir for hitting the nail on the head. No one is indispensable.
What nail? Oga go and seat down. Why should a partisan be a journalist in the first place
@@stevenwilliams3015 Don't mind him, he is clearly supporting atiku.
But some people actually are, GEJ felt it, Atiku will feel it
Hunger has reduced Nigerians not to think, Mr what are you thanking him for. He's not as smart as you think aburo
@@o-buchionwuka He has taken is cut for sure and he is here speaking English.
I’ve been saying it that Dr. Abati is more of a politician than journalist.
I enjoy him as he is.
He should not change.
kudos to you abati, you threw it back to Wike as appropriate .In my opinion , the character and temperament of wike is not humble enough to be a running mate and can not function well as VP. He will be insubordinate to whoever appointed him as his deputy.
God bless you dr Abati for your view
Its the 59 year old Wike, lollipop and more that got me laughing 😃 😀 😄.
Atiku and Wike are both typical Nigerian politicians mostly corrupt and self centred .But if I were to choose between these unimpressive characters, I will choose Wike,because Atiku has a serious fraud case in America as attested to my his former boss.
And how honest and upright is that so-called Atiku's former boss?
@@slimproffy
Does Atiku has a case of money laundry in the USA or not?
I am not holding brief for Obasanjo,but we must condemned misconduct whatever we find it .
@@idiaidia6082 If the Americans have anything against Atiku let them bring his arrest warrant or extradition request like they did to Abba Kyari, Late Buruji Kashamu, etc. For now, that money laundering case exists only in your figment of imagination.
God bless you Abati.
You hit bullseye.
👍👍👍👍
What does Wike want exactly?
Just like Rufai said, it’s all about ego.
PDP is bigger than any one individual.
Well spoken Reuben Abati.👍👍
I like Dr Abati. Period! Always thrilled by his intellectualism.
Reuben calm down. This is an excessive personal attack on wile.
Wike attacked him personally too
This man sounds so much like a PDP man!
Dr Abati, that interview did not meet your usual high standards. Let's all be honest. You allowed Atiku to make a lot of statements which you and Tundun failed to challenge.
Dr. Reuben, you are a seasoned journalist who harmonizes issues by bringing out the essentials. What are in the flag bearers' manifestoes, what are they talking about, are the cardinal plans & strategies that could take us out of the present quagmire, which has eroded our human essence and the continued existence of our polity, contained in their speeches?
Good work Dr Abati, how you go get money "if you no talk like des". Please fire Wike more Atiku will give you more money and Wike will eventually leave the party with his sympathisers. Keep the fire ON, please. Be OBIdient.
We are still yet to know the true nature of this Abati of a man. Looking at his face alone shows that this guy might be worst than the politicians we know.
Is it his fault that he has strong wicked face? Is it not what God him?? You wein carry fine face, nor be God too?
@@deepprobe6187 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍
You are right. I don't take him serious
Arise provided you this platform, use it wisely
For a new Nigeria.....be Obidient and Yusful. The old guards must fall!!!
Dr. Ruben Abati, it is most unbelievable and appalling to see you personalise and join in the party fracas between Wike and Atiku. I'm not a politician, and I'm also not a Wike admirer, especially considering how he supervised the killing of young Nigerians of Ibo extract during the EndSARS saga, but as a social observer and commentator, I don't think it was necessary for Dr. Abati to reduce himself to an ordinary market woman by reacting to Wike's utterances against him.
NOTHING TOO PERSONAL FROM WHAT ABATI HAD SAID!
I understand that working for an organization is more of collectivism and promoting organization identity. However, that does not take away your individuality and professional identity or image. I think there's nothing TOO PERSONAL in what Abati was saying.
His professional image and individuality were crushed and dented in the eye of the public he serves by Wike. He's speaking up to put things in the right context before the public as well as preserving his career and professional image which was dented by Wike.
Sometimes people outside your job profession tend to present themselves as though they know your job better than you. IF YOU TRULY KNOW YOUR JOB, YOU DON'T WANT TO ALLOW AN OUTSIDER WITH LITTLE OR NO BACKGROUND OR TRAINING in your job profession to educate you how to do your job. Nothing too personal here and Abati has the right to use his professional platform to react appropriately to what was alleged against him.
Abati, well done
@@vision8527 I really doubt if you truly know Dr. Abati's professional status and achievements. I started following Dr. Abati from his days in the Guardian Newspapers, Dr. Abati is one of Nigeria's best, and it is most unthinkable that anyone would berate him from the things Wike said. Moreover, a professional journalist of Dr. Abati's standard should not condescend to such mundane and recalcitrant banter between him and any member of the public. It is left to the reading public to deduce and conclude. What difference do you think Dr. Abati's rejoinder made? It would rather make the situation worse.
Please listen to this carefully…Wike got what he wanted by maligning Reuben Abati’s name
@@kelogfoundation.....malign!(?) Please!
Very well spoken.
With this outburst by Abati just shows how Nigeria journalists can be party and with all this nonsense the hope of the common man is........... OGA journalist with all due respect you're nothing different from the person you're condemning..... If Nigeria must move forward all this political journalist must be flushed out of the system.....
Dr. Abati has the rights to berates any one that berates him..Gov. Wike's action is totally uncalled-for. He should leave a journalists to practise their job. This explicitly shows that Gov. Wike influences the news reported by Rivers states' media house...Journalists have the rights to berates anyone. For example Fox News berates the useless and inhumane bills passed by Democrats ....
Imagine someone teaching your job and area of expertise, won't you berates the individual. We live in a democratic nation where everyone is free to air their views .
Nice analysis Ruben 👍!
My highly esteemed Dr Ruben abbati,I celebrate you sir,just take it easy on governor wike,I think he is just being furious for all his effort invested over the years on PDP,thanks for doing a great and simless journalism, I watch you daily and have learnt so much for you regarding Nigeria and the worlds polity.
It takes super extra calmness not to go outburst and respond viciously to people when they make certain personal attacks on you.
I most sincerely admire the way Obi responds to countless personal attacks on him. That man is extraordinary! And I certainly understand everyone must not be like him.
But Dr Abati could have responded to Wike’s remarks on him in a different way devoid of outbursts and still send across a strong message!
Wike insulted him on national tv so he has to respond in kind. People like Wike if you don’t respond in kind, it emboldens them.
This Abati should resign and go and become a full time stomach infrastructure politician. What a disgrace to the profession. You are responding to Wike, how about the thousands who watched the Atiku interview and commented that you and Tundu did a very poor job. Why are you not responding to them.
This guy was so chilllllll when he interviewed Atiku. Maybe that's part of journalism as well - when you interview a hitherto, Alhaji in the comfort of his home?
Abati you were once a politician and you are still with your body language...... the fire 🔥 you and your likes are instigating and I hope you can curtains it.....
I was reading comments that said Abati is proud and is partisan. I watched the clip and he is 100% correct. You don't like the questions he asked dont forget it was not a live section . Blame Atiku and the management as Arise not Abati. There is a reason Rufai wasn't sent there. It was taped so you don't know the questions that made it to the viewers and the ones that didn't
They don’t send Rufai, cause they know he comes with hard questions, in his observation of the interview he pointed out some needed questions.
A journalist is not supposed to judge or conclude. He or she reports and allow people to form their own opinion. Abati is not a journalist, he is a PDP political person, marauding as a journalist, so proud, so self centered, so arrogant and exhibiting those entitlement traits of Mr. Wike.
@@alika50able
Well u move with the times. There is no journalist alive today. You wonder why thr world is messed up. CNN as reputable as they once used to be can you name a single person who fits your description of a journalist? Not saying its right but thats the way the world is
God bless you. Its about time Arise does something about Abbati or loose their reputation
@@lastwapbender I totally agree with you. "Journalists" these days simply use their platform to sell own ideas.
Dr. Ruben Abati why responding to Wike? Or are you speaking for ATIKU? He will still talk and we want him to talk
He was responding for himself because Wike specifically accused him of being bribed. Did you not listen to Wike?
@@mrjohn7930 He should respond in a different forum and not on this program. It's unprofessional.
@@mrjohn7930 You have easily forgotten that he called Wike out first abi. Stop being bias
@@stevenwilliams3015 the truth is that Wike is a sore looser who lacks maturity in dealing with defeat. This is not about bias, it's about analyzing the issue and giving and informed opinion. This same Abati has lambasted Atiku for buying delegates and the PDP for choosing a Northern candidate only recently. All the people calling him names now did not complain because it suits their narrative. Now because he seems to tackle one of their own all hell is broken loose.
Please note that objectivity doesn't mean sitting on the fence, it's about being fair and just.
@@diligenceeke3023 Wike attacked him Abati and in fact by extension his media organization Arise of professional misconduct. As a matter of fact that was a libelous rant for which they should file a suit against the person of Wike for such character assassination.
There is no better platform to respond to him than here. It would have been a different thing if the fight was over other personal thins like a mistress or the likes.
Great 👍 Dr.Reuben Abati
Dr Abati, I believe Gov Wike deserves to be respected and given the honor he deserves in keeping PDP alive. He played his politics well. Others jumped camp including Atiku. If there is any to be rewarded, it should be Wike. Let’s stop destroying our soldiers who fought for us when hope was completely lost. Gov. Wike may have his weakness like every other person but to disrespect and trying to down play his importance in PDP is no no. If you frustrate him, PDP will be weaken. The party need all their war machines for 2023. Dr Abati, show some respect.
Pride is bad and Ruben abati have it in abundance.always feels he knows it all.look at someone that calls himself a professional journalist speaking with so much anger on a national tv
In 2015 & 19 respectively. Atiku left PDP and run back to Dunbia and Wike pick the party from ashes made it good again for Atiku to come back again hijack the party with support of some individuals help or called Wike friends. I support Wike 100%. Abati should leave alone. Abati is working for Atiku.
Atiku join Apc to defeat Jonathan to me Atiku supposed not to give chance in PDP to contest.
Wike has not done more than what Amaechi did for APC in 2015 and what did Amaechi get from APC? But you can’t see Amaechi granting interviews throwing tantrums left and right. In 6months Wike will be nobody in Rivers State let’s see if he still be bugaring with Rivers money.
Loool. I think Reuben is confirming what people have been whispering all along - he is still a strong PDP man - recall he was PDP's Deputy Governorship candidate in Ogun State in 2019. He's clearly Atiku's man; and he sure as hell doesn't like Wike. He says he wasn't defending the Atiku camp but he was doing just that. He gave a lot of air time to articulating Atiku and whipping Wike. And then he craftily suggested to PDP to "lollipop" or "wallop" Wike to end Wike's "tantrums". Knowing PDP's antecedents, they will soon start crafting ways to give Wike the wallop treatment.
Reuben could have been more professional. He actually spent considerable time throwing his own tantrums - reeling out his CV and expending ego punches. I do wish he was this vocal when he was Goodluck Jonathan's special adviser.
Well said sir
I am disappointed with Ruben. What you would have done as a journalist is to reach out to Wike for his side of the story and let people decide who is saying the truth... He is practically taking sides which is not good as a reporter
You are wise

ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO SURPRISED PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO HOLD YOU VERY VERY HIGHLY?
I think this man bridged his conduct , if he doesn’t get fired I think this station should be canceled by Nigerians . He has interfered in a lot of things out of just reporting a news ..
Thank you!
Dr Abati, I sincerely believe you have your point and made it abundantly clear. The days when politicians believe they know better are well behind us. My take away is that those of us that claim to be professionals in our endeavours should know our onions and be upright always.
This outburst is far from professional Dr Ruben. I expect more from you!
Ruben Abati is not a professional, he has never been even in his comments in the program generally. It's either is Mbaka today or Wike tomorrow or another next tomorrow. He should learn from Rufai.
Dr Abati, you made your point Sir.
Dr. Abati, please don't vex your anger on air o! We love your journalism, continue with the good work and add smiles on our faces.
