Rufai Oseni speaks on APC Primary Elections, spark debate online after the broadcaster described the APC primary as a “skit,” with reactions growing ahead of the 2027 election.
Broadcaster Rufai Oseni has stirred fresh conversation online after reacting to the APC’s just-concluded primary election, and a lot of Nigerians have something to say about it.
Rufai, while speaking on the outcome of the primary, said he doesn’t see the exercise as a real election. According to him, what happened should not be used as a picture of what Nigerians should expect in 2027.
His words:
“Do you think this APC just concluded primary is actually an election? It’s a skit.”
He didn’t stop there.
Rufai went on to say that the figures being mentioned from the primary could create the wrong impression ahead of the next general election if Nigerians are not careful.
Rufai Oseni speaks on APC Primary Elections: Why His “Skit” Comment Is Trending Ahead of 2027
According to him, if people are already being told that President Bola Tinubu can pull 10 or 11 million votes in a party primary, then it becomes easy for that same narrative to carry into the 2027 election.
In his words:
“That’s a bad narrative and a pretext for rigging.”
Not surprisingly, the comment has generated serious reactions online.
Some Nigerians agree with him. They believe the numbers from the primary deserve to be questioned and openly discussed. For many of those reacting online, Rufai only said what others were already thinking privately.
Others, however, don’t see it that way.
Supporters of the APC argue that party primaries are internal party affairs and completely different from a nationwide election. Some say comparing the two doesn’t make sense because only party delegates are involved in primaries, not the general voting public.
Still, the debate hasn’t slowed down.
Across Facebook, X and comment sections on news platforms, Nigerians are sharing different opinions. While some praised Rufai for speaking openly, others accused him of reading too much into the primary result.

The reason the conversation is getting attention is simple — anything connected to 2027 already carries political tension. With the election still ahead, every statement, every number and every political move is already being watched closely.
For now, opinions remain divided. Rufai Oseni speaks
Some believe Rufai raised a valid concern that deserves attention. Others feel his criticism is unnecessary and that the APC primary should be seen for what it is — an internal party process. Rufai Oseni speaks
Either way, his comment has added fuel to an already growing political conversation, and Nigerians are clearly paying attention.
Meanwhile; Peter Obi Cape Town meeting with former leaders Ian Khama and Thabo Mbeki has sparked reactions as discussions on unity and immigration gain attention. Rufai Oseni speaks
There’s been some attention around Peter Obi after he shared details of a meeting he had in Cape Town before heading to Johannesburg.
He said he met with two former African leaders — Ian Khama and Thabo Mbeki — and from what he explained, it wasn’t just a casual visit.
From the way he said it, it didn’t even sound like anything too formal… more like he just used that moment to acknowledge them.
Especially for how they’ve been talking about those immigration issues that keep popping up across different African countries.
He also brought up the whole unity thing — how they’re still pushing for it.
That whole unity talk… you hear it everywhere. Rufai Oseni speaks
But when you actually look at how things are playing out, it’s a different story.
And funny enough, that small part… that’s what people are really picking out from everything he said.
Issues around immigration and how Africans treat each other in different countries have been coming up more often lately, so seeing names like Khama and Mbeki still speaking on it — and being engaged — is something some people see as important.
