2027: Tinubu locked down South, Jonathan, Peter Obi will fail if they contest – Dele Momodu

A member of the opposition coalition, Dele Momodu, has suggested why former President Goodluck Jonathan and ex-presidential candidate, Peter Obi will fail if they contest against President Bola Tinubu in 2027.

Momodu said Tinubu has locked down Southern Nigeria, hence Jonathan and Obi can’t pose any challenge to him.

Posting on X, the veteran journalist said the opposition’s only option is to lock the North ahead of 2027.

He wrote: “I still choose to be a chronic optimist even at this stage. Several scenarios may still play out. The opposition has only one option left in order to be competitive.

“Since Tinubu has already locked down the South of Nigeria, seemingly, the opposition must work speedily to lock down the North. With common sense, this is feasible, even if difficult.

“I do not see any Southern candidate giving Tinubu any tough challenge. Not former President JONATHAN. Not former Governor PETER OBI.

“If they run, looking more like independent candidates, they will fail spectacularly.”
