BREAKING: Trained Journalists Shouldn’t Complain on Social Media After the Program Ends — Olayinka

Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), has stirred reactions online following his recent post on X (formerly Twitter), addressing the conduct of television anchors after their programs.

In a pointed remark widely interpreted as directed at Arise News presenter, Rufai Oseni, Olayinka emphasized that professionalism must extend beyond the studio.

Drawing from his background as a trained television journalist, he reminded broadcasters to maintain decorum after their shows conclude.

He wrote: “As a trained TV journalist anchoring a news program, once the program ends, whatever that happened on the program must also end. You don’t go on Social Media to masturbate, acting like you have lost or won a fight.”

The statement comes amid growing public discourse over Oseni’s style of engagement, both on air and online, where he is known for his outspoken commentary on national issues.

His comment has since generated mixed reactions—some praising him for defending journalistic ethics, while others accused him of targeting specific individuals.

Olayinka’s statement serves as a reminder of the fine line between personal expression and professional responsibility in today’s fast-paced media environment.
