Oseni Alleges NDC Deregistration Suit Timed to Undermine Opposition After Obi’s Defection

Arise Television anchor Rufai Oseni claims the lawsuit seeking to nullify the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) registration was orchestrated to weaken the opposition ahead of the 2027 election. He notes that Peter Obi officially joined the NDC on May 3, and the faceless group filed the deregistration suit just two days later. Oseni highlights a pattern of similar challenges against other opposition parties in recent months, including the ADC case. Oseni urges INEC to issue the party code needed for the NDC to upload required documents. He warns that any action limiting opposition participation risks undermining public confidence in the electoral process. While he describes the timing as a “direct orchestration,” Oseni admits there is no concrete evidence yet. He calls on Nigerians to defend democratic space and ensure all parties can contest freely.
