Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has warned that a split between former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, and Peter Obi would give President Bola Tinubu a clear advantage in the 2027 presidential election.
Momodu recalled how Atiku and Obi came second and third during the 2023 presidential election to the advantage of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last exercise.
Posting on X, Momodu said Atiku has remained consistent in his pursuit of the presidency.
He noted that with history, structure, and voter energy all in play, unity among opposition forces may prove decisive, while fragmentation could once again reshape 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.”
