Ahead of the 2027 elections, a chieftain of the African
Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has declared that the party’s
presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, is not the preferred choice of former
President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Momodu said indications are showing that Obasanjo is
favourably disposed towards the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, presidential
candidate, Peter Obi.
Speaking on News Central TV on Monday, the former
presidential candidate also disclosed that Atiku will be President if he is
destined to be.
The veteran journalist also said the outcome of the 2027
presidential election would be determined by Nigerians’ assessment of the All
Progressives Congress, APC, administration’s performance rather than divisions
within the opposition.
He said: “The truth here is that President Obasanjo never
prosecuted Atiku; we all knew what led to their beef. It’s a political season, and everybody has their strategies, and from what I have read and heard from
impeccable sources, it’s obvious that Obasanjo might be supporting former
governor Peter Obi-Kwankwaso ticket.
“I read somewhere yesterday where my friend, Osuntokun, said
Obasanjo is the main sponsor of that ticket. If Atiku is destined to be
President of Nigeria, no force will be able to stop it.
“So we are watching and it’s obvious that Atiku is not
Obasanjo’s favourite candidate. I thought the issue has been laid to rest in
2019 because there is a video in circulation where Obasanjo described Atiku as
the President to be, so I don’t know what resurrected that bitter feud between
both of them.”
