Arise Television’s The Morning Show anchor, Rufai Oseni, has cautioned Nigerians against expecting the outcome of the 2026 Osun State governorship election to determine what will happen in the 2027 general elections.

Oseni urged citizens to recognise the potential challenges surrounding the 2027 polls and prepare adequately for what lies ahead.

According to the broadcaster, the level of federal influence witnessed during the Osun governorship election could be deployed on a much wider scale during the 2027 general elections.

Speaking on Monday, Oseni explained that his earlier warnings ahead of the Osun election were aimed at helping voters understand the possible risks associated with the electoral process rather than creating fear among the electorate.

He stressed that the circumstances surrounding a state governorship election should not be assumed to be identical to those that will shape a nationwide general election.

Oseni therefore urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and pay close attention to developments as political activities intensify ahead of the 2027 elections.

He said, “Last week, when I was telling the people the challenges they would face, it was not to scare them. No, I believe in telling the people the truth so that they know how to react to dangers.

“Yes, same risk assessment. I like to say it the way it is. Tell them the risks involved, and I think it worked for the Osun people because they knew the risks involved. Don’t sugarcoat it for them.

“Just like I’m going to tell the Nigerian people the risks involved. If you think because Osun people stood up, it will be easy in 2027, you are foolish. You are delusional.

“2027 is going to be different from Osun. The federal might that they used and couldn’t execute, they will use it three times over. They will go back to the drawing board and try to perfect it.”

ZINGTIE reported that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Sunday declared Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party winner of the Osun State governorship election.
