Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on WhatsappShare on EmailShare on Telegram

A former presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, has stated that the Nigerian opposition is ill-prepared to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Momodu made the statement on Tuesday, posted on his verified X handle. He questioned how opposition presidential hopefuls intend to defeat Tinubu when they have yet to agree on a unified strategy.

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

The publisher of Ovation magazine 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 place.

“The only opposition leader who seems to understand what it takes to be competitive is Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.”
