Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, says the only
way the opposition can defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential
election is by zoning the presidency to the Muslim North and the vice
presidency to the Christian South.
Momodu stated this on Friday while responding to questions
in an interview on Arise Television.
He said President Tinubu had already locked down the South,
making it almost impossible for any southern presidential candidate to compete
effectively against him.
“It’s obvious that the ruling government has already turned
this into an ethnic battle, and it’s going to be a battle of North versus
South.
“That is why you saw PDP and APC apparatchiks all struggling
to insist that a candidate must come from the South. They know that President
Tinubu has already locked down the South, and nobody — not Peter Obi, not
Goodluck Jonathan, will be able to catch up with him where he is right now,” he
said.
According to him, President Tinubu’s immense financial
resources and control of state structures give him a major advantage, adding
that only a strategic counterbalance from the North could tilt the balance in
favour of the opposition.
The former presidential candidate also dismissed the notion
that such zoning would undermine fairness or the principle of power rotation,
arguing that the idea of an eight-year turn for the North and South was not
enshrined in the Nigerian Constitution.
