On social media platform X, Oseni stated: “That officer merits national recognition. He remained composed and professional while Wike behaved erratically.”
Oseni highlighted a pivotal moment in the exchange. When called derogatory names, the officer responded firmly: “I maintain my integrity.” This statement reportedly changed the discussion’s tone.
According to Oseni, this principled response effectively concluded the argument. It demonstrated the contrast between dignity and arrogance.
