A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has said a split between former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi would give President Bola Tinubu an advantage in the 2027 presidential election.
Momodu recalled how Atiku and Obi came second and third during the 2023 presidential election.
He warned against a repeat of such.
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.
“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,” Momodu said.
