2027: Opposition Not Ready, Says Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu, a former presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said that the Nigerian opposition is not prepared to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Momodu made the remark in a statement on his verified X account on Tuesday, questioning how opposition presidential hopefuls plan to defeat Tinubu when they have yet to agree on a unified strategy.

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain said former Vice President Atiku Abubakar remains the only contender with the structure and seriousness required for the race.

The Ovation magazine publisher wrote: “I often wonder how some opposition presidential aspirants can think of knocking out President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in 2027 when they have not even come together to agree on a common strategy. Let me emphasize that contesting for the highest office in any country is no child’s play. The only opposition leader who seems to understand what it takes to be competitive is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.”
