Speaking via a post on 𝕏, Momodu warned that fragmentation among the opposition would once again reshape the electoral outcome.
African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dele Momodu has warned that any division between former presidential candidates Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi could give President Bola Tinubu an advantage in the 2027 presidential election.
Speaking via a post on 𝕏, Momodu warned that fragmentation among the opposition would once again reshape the electoral outcome.
He argued that with history, structure, and voter energy all in play, unity among opposition forces may prove decisive.
Momodu recalled how Atiku and Obi came second and third during the 2023 presidential election.
He warned against a repeat of such an incident.
He asserted that Atiku’s resilience over time, despite losing multiple elections, is commendable.
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-energise 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.”
