A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has stated that a split between former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi will offer President Bola Tinubu a clear edge in the 2027 presidential election.
Momodu recounted how Atiku and Obi finished second and third in the 2023 presidential election.
He cautioned against a recurrence of this.
Momodu, in a post on X, stated that Atiku has been steady in his presidential campaign.He observed that, with history, structure, and voter energy all at stake, solidarity among opposition groups may be pivotal, while fragmentation may once again influence the electoral outcome.
According to Momodu: “Buhari lost multiple times and even gave up at a point. But Atiku was always closer to the destination and has never given up. That’s admirable.
“He and Obi came after the other as 2nd and 3rd in 2023, dividing them again will instantly give Tinubu an advantage. See the energy OBI has generated from his base to ADC.
“ATIKU will re-energize his own base too and offer the formidable structures he’s been building steadily, meticulously and intentionally since about 1993 when he stepped down for Chief Moshood Abiola at the SDP Presidential primary in 1993 in Jos.”
