Obi Media Office alleges rigging plan by 600 lecturers

The Peter Obi Media Office has raised concerns over the reported endorsement of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by about 600 university lecturers, describing it as an early attempt to build a network of partisan actors ahead of the 2027 presidential election. This situation raises questions about potential conflicts of interest, as these academics could be assigned electoral responsibilities. The office warned that electoral malpractice could begin long before election day.
