Arise News anchor, Rufai Oseni has blasted President Bola Tinubu, the African Democratic Congress, ADC, presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, counterpart, Peter Obi over their failure to present manifestos ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Rufai made this assertion in a video posted on X as the 2027 general elections get closer.
According to him, it is shameful that less than three months before the 2027 elections none of the top presidential candidates has released a clear manifesto to Nigerians.
He added that Nigerian politicians are busy playing politics instead of telling Nigerians what they want to do for the country.
“Shame on you all. Shame on Tinubu, shame on Atiku, shame on Peter Obi. Up till now, no manifesto. What do you want to do for Nigerians? You have not told us,” Rufai said.
He argued that in advanced countries, candidates present their manifestos months before elections so citizens can debate and interrogate them, but in Nigeria, politicians are only interested in endorsements and defections.
His comment has triggered massive reactions online, with many Nigerians agreeing that presidential candidates should release their manifestos on time, while supporters of the candidates said it is too early to release manifestos.
