Publisher and ADC chieftain Dele Momodu has cautioned Nigerians against placing all their hopes for the 2027 presidential election on former Labour Party candidate Peter Obi. Speaking on ARISE NEWS, Momodu argued that intense focus on Obi and the zoning debate are distracting Nigerians from critical challenges like insecurity, poor electricity, and weak governance. He accused the APC of deliberately fueling the zoning narrative to retain power. Momodu also dismissed an Obi-Kwankwaso alliance as an automatic victory, stressing elections are won through structure and strategy.
Key Points:
- Momodu's warning suggests the opposition may be putting too many eggs in one basket ahead of 2027.
- Arguing that zoning distracts from real issues could reframe political discourse around competence.
- Accusing the APC of fueling the North-South division points to deliberate manipulation of opposition weaknesses.
- Dismissing online popularity as insufficient challenges the Obidient movement's perceived electoral strength.
- Momodu's ADC affiliation means his views carry weight within opposition coalition talks.
