Oseni Questions Wike's Political Influence and Claims
Rufai Oseni, the anchor of Arise Television’s Morning Show, challenged the political influence of Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, regarding his claims of being able to secure electoral victories for President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections. During a discussion on September 16, 2026, Oseni pointed out Wike's support for Tinubu despite the Peoples Democratic Party's decision to field candidates in the upcoming elections.
He scrutinized Wike's 2019 re-election as governor of Rivers State, noting that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) suspended the collation of results due to disruptions, with Wike eventually declared the winner after 22 days. Oseni also referred to the 2023 presidential election results in Rivers State, questioning the integrity of official results compared to independent tallies.
He cited Wike's performance in the 2022 PDP presidential primary, where Atiku Abubakar won with 371 votes to Wike's 237, to further question Wike's claims of political delivery.
