Rufai Oseni Critiques Peter Obi's Declining Support

Rufai Oseni, an anchor at Arise Television’s Morning Show, expressed concerns regarding Peter Obi, the presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). Oseni stated that Obi has lost many supporters from the 2023 presidential election, attributing this to perceived inconsistencies in his policies.

He noted that Obi's lack of visibility and internal conflicts within the NDC, particularly between the OK movement and the party leadership, have contributed to this decline. Oseni referenced comments made by Don Ulasi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who described Obi as the only serious opposition figure against President Bola Tinubu but expressed skepticism about the NDC's grassroots mobilization efforts.

Furthermore, Oseni criticized Obi's fluctuating position on petrol subsidy, stating that Obi had previously supported maintaining the subsidy but has since indicated a desire to remove it, which he described as flip-flopping. Oseni questioned the current state of Obi's manifesto and his engagement in the subsidy debate.
