Quick Summary:
Arise Television anchor Rufai Oseni says Peter Obi is the only opposition figure capable of mounting a strong challenge against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 election, warning of possible legal battles within the NDC.
Arise Television anchor, Rufai Oseni, has said that former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, remains the only opposition figure capable of mounting a strong challenge against President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.
Oseni made the remarks on Monday during The Morning Show on Arise Television, where he discussed emerging political alignments ahead of the next election cycle.
“Obi Is The Only One Who Can Push Tinubu”
According to Oseni, political mapping conducted by major parties indicates that Obi is perceived as the only candidate capable of posing a significant electoral threat to President Tinubu.
He alleged that political forces are working to prevent Obi from appearing on the ballot in 2027.
Possible Legal Crisis In NDC
Oseni also warned that the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), which recently welcomed Obi and former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, may soon face internal and legal challenges following its rapid expansion.
He linked the crisis in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to similar political manoeuvres aimed at destabilizing opposition structures.
Obi And Kwankwaso Join NDC
DAILY POST earlier reported that Peter Obi and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso officially joined the NDC on Sunday.
They were formally received into the party by Seriake Dickson, the national leader, alongside top executives and hundreds of supporters at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.
Their defection marks a major realignment within Nigeria’s opposition landscape, as both figures seek to build a unified platform ahead of the 2027 elections.
