The anchor of the programme, Rufai Oseni, tried to console the politician while speaking about the outcome of the Saturday, September 21 governorship election.

Business reporter at Arise TV, Aruoture “Rotus” Oddiri, shared the video via his X handle (formerly known as Twitter) @Rotankwot

Speaking in a sorrowful tone, Odigie said:

“If they did this evil to project the best candidate, that has intellectual depth, the intellectual capacity to articulate and do what is needed to take Edo to the next level. I won’t be feeling this bad.”

@drdebodun

This is the perfect example of, " It ended in tears."
Where was Emmanuel Odigie when Obaseki was disrespecting the Ọba of Benin? Where was he when Obaseki removed the room of the House of Assembly.

He would decamp back to the APC, just give him till December when Obaseki leaves.

@clemss148

We have been witnessing 'mourners' both as anchor,and now guest! Shouldn't there be a winner and loser in a contest?Why the emotional distress!But we still have a few like Rotus,who make us watch Arise News!!!
This cry is a form of comedy joke to me, making my day!!!😂😆😆✅🇳🇬✅

@adahfact

Rufai Oseni is now the Consoler in chief. Arisetv crews are giving them shoulders to cry on after that fraudulent polls Rufai oseni did for whatever reason. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@Shimsun211

He is shedding so many tears because he suffered through the years. At the hands of Obaseki, he still sees a long road ahead of him with no reward of any kind.
