Arise News presenter Rufai Oseni has reportedly questioned the visibility of former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi ahead of Nigeria’s 2027 general election.
The discussion centres on Obi’s political activities and public engagement as preparations for the next presidential contest gradually gather momentum.
Obi, who contested the 2023 presidential election under the Labour Party, attracted considerable support from young Nigerians and voters seeking an alternative to the established political parties.
His performance in the last election established him as a prominent opposition figure, with supporters continuing to look towards him for leadership and political direction.
However, questions about his current political strategy and public visibility have become part of the wider conversation about the opposition’s preparedness for 2027.
Oseni’s reported remarks raise questions about whether Obi is maintaining sufficient engagement with the electorate as other political actors position themselves for the next election.
The coming months are expected to bring further developments as parties consider alliances, presidential aspirants assess their options and political groups intensify mobilisation efforts.
Obi’s next political steps, including his party platform and strategy for building a broader coalition of support, are likely to remain subjects of public interest.
