2027: ‘It’ll Mark His End’ – Dele Momodu Names ADC Combined Ticket That Will Sack Tinubu

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has said that an opposition alliance involving Atiku Abubakar and a southern political figure could potentially unseat Bola Tinubu in the 2027 general election.

He contended that a coalition ticket comprising Atiku and a notable southern politician, such as Peter Obi or Rotimi Amaechi, could considerably diminish the ruling party’s prospects in the next election.

“I am convinced that if we have a partnership with Atiku, possibly with Peter Obi, perhaps with Rotimi Amaechi, or any other individual from the South, Tinubu will be finished.

“This would mark the end of Tinubu’s foundation, not the APC,” Momodu expressed during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

He asserted that Atiku’s enduring political aspiration and experience render him a formidable candidate should he become the opposition’s nominee.

“Based on my assessment, Atiku Abubakar – even among those who previously opposed him – is now being viewed favorably, as the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

“He has been preparing for this moment for a long time, similar to how Donald Trump was preparing for his presidency. Critics claimed Donald Trump was too old, yet he is now in his second term, which is quite ironic.

“I firmly believe that opposition politics is essential; there must be opposition candidates. However, Tinubu seems intent on running against himself, which I find illogical,” Momodu remarked.

When asked if he believes Atiku possesses the capability to defeat Tinubu in 2027, Momodu responded that the former vice president’s political framework and determination make him a formidable opponent.

He noted that the increasing trend of defections from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) since Tinubu took office poses a significant threat to Nigeria’s democracy.

Momodu characterized this situation as “a tragic day for democracy,” cautioning that it could be perilous if the PDP is left with only a few governors.

Atiku, Obi and Amaechi, who were affiliated with different parties during the 2023 elections, have now united in their efforts aimed at challenging the ruling APC in the 2027 general election.
