Did the NDC Lawsuit Follow Peter Obi’s Defection on Purpose?

Arise Television anchor Rufai Oseni says the challenge to the Nigeria Democratic Congress registration appears suspicious. He notes that a “faceless group” filed the suit two days after Peter Obi joined the NDC, suggesting a pattern of legal moves to weaken the opposition ahead of 2027. Oseni pointed out that Obi’s defection on May 3 was quickly followed by the lawsuit on May 5. He compared this to a similar case against the ADC and warned that such tactics could erode public trust in the electoral process. He urged INEC to issue the necessary code for the party to upload its documents, arguing that blocking opposition parties undermines democracy. The anchor challenged Nigerians to stay vigilant, warning that more legal battles might be orchestrated to keep major contenders like Atiku, Obi, and Makinde off the ballot. He called on citizens to demand transparency and fair play as the election season unfolds.
