Rufai Oseni, an anchor at Arise Television, has raised concerns regarding potential efforts to exclude prominent opposition figures, such as Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, from the ballot in the upcoming 2027 general elections. His comments followed a recent ruling by the Federal High Court, which mandated the deregistration of several political parties, including the African Democratic Congress and the Accord Party, due to alleged constitutional violations. The court's decision, which prohibits the Independent National Electoral Commission from recognizing these parties or accepting their nominations, could significantly impact the political landscape and ambitions of various politicians. Oseni emphasized the need for vigilance among Nigerians to protect the democratic process, suggesting that the court ruling may be part of a broader strategy to influence the upcoming elections.
