Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has claimed that the 2027 election has already been turned into a regional war between the South and North.
All Facts Newspaper reports that the veteran journalist made this known in a post via 𝕏 on Sunday, stating that nobody is more famous than President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar.
Momodu maintained that popularity alone would not be enough to win the 2027 election.
The former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain charged Tinubu and Atiku to take a cue from the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who picked Yemi Osinbajo, a southerner, as his Vice President.
According to him, the South will support a candidate from the region, adding that the North can no longer be persuaded or blackmailed into helping the South after the treatment it received following the last election.
He wrote, “Nobody is more famous than Tinubu and Atiku. Nobody, in that order. Fame alone cannot win a Presidential election in 2027.
“It is going to be a battle of the regions, the way Buhari combined with Osinbajo in 2015. Tinubu already has an advantage in the South with the incumbency factor.
“No individual today in opposition can single-handedly take on the APC behemoth. It would amount to a delusion of grandeur. It has already been turned into a regional war between the North and the South.
“The South will support a Southern candidate, and the North can no longer be persuaded or blackmailed into supporting the South after the treatment meted out to them after the last election. It has become everyone for himself and God for us all.”
