According to Dele Momodu, a prominent figure in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), President Bola Tinubu can be successfully challenged in 2027 by a strong candidate from the North.

Momodu added that the area feels excluded under Tinubu’s rule and that the North is strategically positioned in the presidential race.

The former PDP presidential candidate stated during an appearance on Arise Television’s Morning Show that marginalization would enrage Northern supporters against the current administration.

He described Nigerian politics as a “optical illusion—much like magic, the more you look, the less you see”.

According to Momodu: “I believe Tinubu can only be effectively countered by another strong candidate from the North.

“Any Southerner who thinks they can challenge Tinubu is likely wasting their time. The PDP—or any coalition—must recognise that power dynamics require strategic thinking.

“They cannot expect success with a Southern candidate alone if they truly wish to contest Tinubu’s position.”

The seasoned publisher also emphasized the value of coalition politics, pointing out that the opposition’s chances may be improved by presenting a united front that included prominent Northerners like Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

This comes after Hakeem Baba-Ahmed, Tinubu’s former Special Adviser on Political Affairs in the Office of Vice President Kashim Shettima, stated that the North will soon determine its political course.

Baba-Ahmed urged Tinubu to resign so that a new generation of leaders could take over as the nation’s leader.
