In a Facebook post on February 11, 2026, Ossai expressed confidence that Tinubu's government has secured its future through notable achievements and a strong party framework across the nation.
He maintained that even with the full endorsement and implementation of electronic result transmission, Obi would struggle to secure enough support.
Ossai pointed to the recent low turnout at protests in Abuja as an indication of the declining momentum of the opposition.
He also suggested that a partnership between Peter Obi and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar would not be enough to change the political landscape, expressing disappointment in the current state of the opposition.
He stated, "I don't foresee Peter Obi winning against Tinubu, even if electronic result transmission is approved.
I am convinced that Tinubu will win in 2027, given his significant accomplishments and well-established party system nationwide. Even if electronic result transmission is accepted, I still don’t believe Peter Obi will triumph."
This statement comes amidst ongoing national discussions regarding the Nigerian Senate's recent decisions related to the Electoral Act.
The Senate has passed a measure allowing for both electronic and manual result transmission in the event of network disruptions or other communication failures, which has drawn significant criticism from Kenneth Okonkwo, a well-known legal expert and political analyst.
Okonkwo criticized this legislative compromise, stating that allowing manual collation alongside electronic methods opens the door to human interference and manipulation.
He argued that true public transparency cannot be achieved as long as manual processes can complicate or override digital data.
