Media mogul, Dele Momodu, has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is plotting to be the sole candidate for the 2027 general elections.
Momodu was reacting to the decision of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to de-recognise the African Democratic Congress, ADC’s leadership led by David Mark.
This came following INEC’s interpretation of a recent Court of Appeal ruling.
Momodu slammed the electoral body and described them as “a debilitating albatross” on the country.
He also claimed that the last time a president tried to be the sole candidate in an election, was the late General Sani Abacha.
“INEC has been a debilitating albatross on Nigeria,” Momodu wrote on X.
“Our country has waltzed from bad to worse, since the annulment of June 12, 1993 Presidential election, which was apparently won by Chief Moshood Abiola.
“The speed at which the current INEC swiftly recognized the Wike faction of PDP immediately convinced me about the robotic nature of our INEC.
“There are different factions in APC fighting in different States, but INEC cannot touch them. With all the Governors coerced or cajoled and cheaply converted to APC, the ruling party is still feverishly jittery.
“Now that the INEC has summarily `derecognisedʼ ADC, the last hope would be the courts, and even that is very precarious. But there’s always the GOD factor, which is always beyond human comprehension and expectation.
“The ultimate aim of TINUBU and his acolytes is to produce a sole candidate in the 2027 Presidential election.
“The last time such a brazen attempt was made was during the Abacha era, 1993-1998.
“It is true indeed that humans hardly learn didactic lessons from history,” he stated.
