How to defeat Tinubu in 2027– Dele Momodu

Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, says the onlyway the opposition can defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidentialelection is by zoning the presidency to the Muslim North and the vicepresidency to the Christian South. Momodu stated this on Friday while responding to questionsin an interview on Arise Television. He said President Tinubu had already locked down the South,making it almost impossible for any southern presidential candidate to competeeffectively against him. “It’s obvious that the ruling government has already turnedthis into an ethnic battle, and it’s going to be a battle of North versusSouth. “That is why you saw PDP and APC apparatchiks all strugglingto insist that a candidate must come from the South. They know that PresidentTinubu has already locked down the South, and nobody — not Peter Obi, notGoodluck Jonathan, will be able to catch up with him where he is right now,” hesaid. According to him, President Tinubu’s immense financialresources and control of state structures give him a major advantage, addingthat only a strategic counterbalance from the North could tilt the balance infavour of the opposition. The former presidential candidate also dismissed the notionthat such zoning would undermine fairness or the principle of power rotation,arguing that the idea of an eight-year turn for the North and South was notenshrined in the Nigerian Constitution.
