Social commentator, Reno Omokri has berated Arise TV and Rufai Oseni for allegedly calling him out after he reacted to a trending video of Edo State Governor, Monday Okpebholo being unable to pronounce figures in the budget he presented to the Edo State House of Assembly.

He thereafter called me twice in a three way call with Daniel Bwala to beg me not to expose him. I hung up the phone on him.@BwalaDanielis a living witness. Am I lying? I challenge AriseTV and Rufai Oseni to sue me if I lied.
