“PLAY THE OSUN SCRIPT”: AISHA YESUFU TO OBI SUPPORTERS

Activist Aisha Yesufu has joined the “Osun Script” social media campaign, urging supporters of Peter Obi to learn how to protect their votes in the 2027 general elections.

The “Osun Script” refers to the alleged playbook used in the Osun State governorship election, which critics claim involved manipulation of results and suppression of opposition votes.

Yesufu’s message is simple: learn the tactics, anticipate them, and counter them.

THE VOTE PROTECTION IMPERATIVE

Nigeria’s electoral history is littered with disputed results and allegations of rigging. Opposition supporters have long argued that elections are won and lost not at polling units but in collation centres and through administrative manipulation.

The “Osun Script” campaign is an attempt to crowdsource knowledge of these tactics and distribute it widely so that supporters can document results, monitor collation and resist manipulation.

WHY IT MATTERS

The 2027 elections will be contested in an environment of deep mistrust. Opposition supporters believe elections have been stolen in the past.
