Arise Television’s Morning Show host Rufai Oseni said on Monday that [President Bola Tinubu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bola_Tinubu) delivered what he described as the worst campaign speech he has ever heard during the [All Progressives Congress (APC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Progressives_Congress) rally in Kaduna State, expressing sympathy for the president and blaming his campaign team for inadequate preparation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
**What criticism did Oseni level at the speech?**
Oseni argued that the president’s remarks were disjointed, lacked structure and failed to provide a clear defence of his four‑year record. He said the speech should have been a concise five‑minute summary of the administration’s achievements and policies, not a rambling address that left listeners “embarrassed”.
**Why did he fault the campaign council?**
According to the broadcaster, members of Tinubu’s campaign council did not equip the president with a coherent script, allowing him to “ad‑lib” on stage. Oseni questioned whether the council was more interested in raising money than in preparing a solid defence of the government’s actions, especially on contentious issues such as the removal of the petrol subsidy.
**What specific points did he highlight?**
He noted that Tinubu’s attempt to blame the opposition for Nigeria’s poverty and hunger was poorly articulated, and that the speech offered no ideological direction. Oseni quoted himself, saying: “What is wrong with you guys? Is this how much you are so concerned about just collecting money from him?”
**How did Oseni conclude his remarks?**
The presenter expressed personal sympathy, stating, “I feel for President Tinubu this morning,” while reiterating that the campaign team had failed the president by permitting an unprepared address at a critical moment in his re‑election bid.
The APC has already begun its nationwide campaign drive for the 2027 elections, with Tinubu seeking a second term. Oseni’s comments add to the growing scrutiny of the president’s communication strategy as the election cycle intensifies.
