Rufai Oseni, anchor of Arise Television Morning Show, has sharply criticised prominent opposition figures, labelling them a “coalition of jokers” over their response to the recently signed Electoral Act ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking on Friday during his programme, Oseni singled out leaders such as Atiku Abubakar, Rotimi Amaechi, and Peter Obi, faulting them for what he described as a delayed and ineffective reaction to the legislative process.
He questioned why opposition lawmakers in the National Assembly did not take stronger action while the bill was under consideration, instead waiting until after President Bola Tinubu had signed it into law to raise objections.
While praising legislators who held firm during deliberations, Oseni argued that the wider opposition failed to mount a coordinated response, criticising what he called largely symbolic protests after the law had already been enacted.
