2027: Only a coalition can reduce tinubu, said Dele Momodu

Veterans and presidential candidates twice, Dele Momodu, have stated that the President of the Tinubu soccer who shifted in the 2027 general election would require a coalition of broad political parties.

Momodu, a prominent figure in the Democratic Party (PDP) of the people, made this declaration during his performance in the monthly program of the OYO State Broadcasting Company (BCOS), Guest of the Month, in Ibadan on Tuesday.

Speaking honestly about the state of PDP, Momodu expressed deep concern over the internal party division and reduced capacity to challenge the decision of all the progressive congress (APC).

“My soul has left PDP; only my body is left,” he said, reflecting the greater frustration with what he described as the internal sabotage of the party and the weakened structure.

Momodu states that PDP united holds the potential to challenge APC’s grip on power but emphasizes that internal and external forces deliberately work to maintain the fragmented opposition.

“APC is restless because he knows that PDP is the only party who is able to challenge its dominance in 2027,” he said. “That is why efforts are being made at all levels to ensure that PDP remains a faction.”

He further criticized what he described as an effort regulated by the ruling party to confuse the opposition through infiltration and manipulation, accusing several PDP members of being involved in this strategy.

“The ruling party ideology depends on weakening the main opposition. Unfortunately, some of our party members help this agenda. But PDP, becomes a legal obedient party, holding on to the legal process in overcoming these internal problems,” he said, adding that disciplinary actions must always be based on the rule of law.

Looking forward to the 2027 presidential competition, Momodu argues that it takes more than just a unity of the party to defeat incumbent.

“It is almost impossible to remove the President of Tinubu without a formidable coalition. Opposition must be strategic, not only in forming alliances but also in choosing candidates from areas that are very contrasting with the president’s political base,” he said.

Momodu’s comments came in the midst of the increasing speculation about the 2027 election landscape, because the opposition parties continued to wrestle with internal disputes and strategic uncertainty.
