Veteran journalist, Dele Momodu, on Sunday highlighted what
President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar need to win the
2027 presidential election.
Momodu explained that winning the 2027 presidential election
is going to be a battle of regions.
He noted that popularity alone would not be enough to win
the election.
Posting on X, 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.
He wrote: “Nobody is more famous than Tinubu and Atiku.
Nobody, in that order. Fame alone cannot win Presidential election in 2027.
“It is going to be 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 to them after the last election. It has become everyone for
himself and God for us all.”
