Former Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain, Dele
Momodu, on Thursday declared that there is no formidable actor from the North
that can confront President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
Momodu said the decision of the PDP to zone its presidential
ticket to the South could hand Tinubu the advantage to win in 2027.
Speaking on News Central TV’s Breakfast Central, the former
presidential candidate said Tinubu already has the South on lockdown.
Momodu said: “Tinubu has already locked down the South by
taking out Delta, Akwa Ibom, disorganizing Rivers State – Fubara is neither
here nor there, even if he comes back tomorrow, he would have to tow the line.
“The other states are being worked at so that they can grab
them, if they have a choice Tinubu will not have any candidates contesting
against him.
“And once you limit and restrict the presidential election
to the South, there is no formidable actor from the North. It is as good as
giving it to Asiwaju on a platter.
“The governors know what they are doing, those looking for a
second term know what they are doing not to seen to be opposed to Asiwaju
because this is state capture.
“When did Nigeria degenerate that people are afraid to speak
truth to power? So just because our friend is the President today it means that
all of us must become timid and nobody wants to talk.”
