Chief Dele Momodu, a prominent leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has made some striking allegations regarding the political landscape as we look ahead to the 2027 presidential election. He asserts that the South-South governors who have recently aligned themselves with the All Progressives Congress (APC) are poised to engage in a vigorous and focused campaign aimed at erasing Peter Obi’s impressive vote tallies from the 2023 elections in that region, should he decide to run again.
In a compelling discussion on Arise TV, Momodu expressed his views candidly. He stated, “If you have a minimum of two presidential candidates from the south, they will fight each other freely. And I can guarantee you the City Boys people are not joking. The South-South governors are not joking. They are going to come all out and try to obliterate Obi’s votes in 2027.” His words painted a vivid picture of a politically charged environment, where rivalry and competition among candidates could escalate to unprecedented levels.
Furthermore, Momodu dismisses the narrative that combining the vote totals of Obi and Tinubu from the 2023 elections somehow signifies that the northern states are honoring the zoning arrangements traditionally respected in Nigerian politics. He argues that such reasoning is fundamentally misguided. He emphasized that during the last election cycle, then-President Muhammadu Buhari was still alive, significantly influencing the political dynamics at play. Momodu pointed out that Tinubu’s landslide victory in the northern states directly contributed to his overall vote tally, showcasing a distinct gap between his support and that of Obi in those regions.
The influential ADC chieftain expressed his strong conviction that the individuals attempting to frame these vote calculations as a reliable strategy for achieving victory in the next election are misleading the public. He implored the political community to look beyond simplistic interpretations and instead focus on the evolving realities of Nigeria’s electoral landscape. Momodu firmly believes that as the electoral season draws closer, the true dynamics will become apparent, setting the stage for a heated and transformative contest.
