What Tinubu, Atiku Need – Dele Momodu

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.”
