Rufai Oseni Challenges Peter Obi's Election Claims

Rufai Oseni, a Nigerian journalist, criticized Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC), for his recent comments regarding the 2023 general elections. During an interview with BBC Africa, Obi acknowledged that he lacked evidence to substantiate his claim of winning the presidential election while representing the Labour Party.

Despite this admission, he insisted on his belief that he won the election and that it was rigged. Oseni responded on Arise Television’s Morning show, stating that Obi should refrain from making such claims without supporting evidence.

He questioned whether Obi had reviewed the election results before asserting his victory and demanded to see the data that would back up Obi's claims. Oseni emphasized the importance of evidence in political discourse, stating that without it, Obi's assertions would not be taken seriously.
