Rufai Oseni Critiques Presidential Candidates for Ignoring Nigerians

Nigerian journalist Rufai Oseni criticized the presidential candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC), African Democratic Congress (ADC), and Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for their failure to present campaign manifestos and participate in presidential debates ahead of the 2027 general election. During ARISE Television’s ‘The Morning Show’ on Wednesday, Oseni stated that the candidates have insulted Nigerians by not providing a campaign manifesto and prioritizing verbal attacks over concrete solutions to national challenges.

He expressed concern over the lack of a publicly announced debate schedule, emphasizing that Nigerians deserve to know when candidates will present their governing plans. Oseni urged the candidates to publish their manifestos within the next week, insisting that Nigerians require clear policy positions instead of excuses.

He remarked that all political candidates have shown a lack of seriousness towards the electorate and called for a more robust political discourse.
