During an eye-opening appearance on Arise Television, Chief Dele Momodu ignited political debate by claiming that major members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have begun gathering around former President Muhammadu Buhari at his Kaduna house.

Momodu clarified that the political tide within the ruling party seems to be turning during the conversation, which aired on the morning show and gathered popularity around the 17–18 minute mark.

He stated that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and a few APC leaders thought they could marginalize Buhari following the 2023 elections. But it appears that the political calculus has shifted.

“Initially, they thought they wouldn’t need Buhari anymore, but when they saw members of the coalition gravitating towards him, the APC national chairman, governors, and other top party figures began to follow suit. They’ve realized that Buhari is still a political heavyweight, especially in the North.” Momodu said.

Momodu underlined that Buhari’s impact is still felt, especially among northern Nigerian grassroots. He also included a warning regarding the political assertiveness of the North.

“Buhari that I know is a principled man. He may personally support Tinubu, but he might not be able to restrain his political foot soldiers, one thing I respect about the North is their courage—they are not afraid to confront challenges. If the North decides they don’t want Tinubu, there’s practically nothing that can be done—unless you’re ready to do the unthinkable.” Momodu said.

Ahead of the 2027 elections, the remarks coincide with mounting conjecture on internal APC conflicts and worries about regional allegiances. According to analysts, Buhari’s continued appeal in the North may play a significant role in determining the nature of upcoming political coalitions.
