A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dele Momodu has said that only former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, can defeat President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
During an interview on Monday with Channels Television, Mr. Momodu said that Atiku has the number and poses a serious threat to President Tinubu in the next general election.
He added that, the former vice president is the best candidate to represent Africa Democratic Congress.
The founder and publisher of Oviation Magazine noted that the former vice president had been running his business, investing in education and agriculture, saying it is a good example of what a leader should be.

“I said the best choice would be my candidate. Which is what I expect the ‘Obidents’ to say, which I expect those who are supporting Rotimi Amaechi to say, there is nothing wrong with that.
"The first thing I'm looking at the numbers.
This is a game about numbers. Additionally, northern Nigerians are the ones who are currently the most in agreement. “And if you listened to Wike very well, they are all campaigning that the next President should still come from southern Nigeria.
However, they are well aware that there are no Southerners today. The only one who could have attempted it is Wike. And since he’s already supporting Tinubu.
“The moment you see people waging a campaign of calumny against Atiku, you must know he poses a great threat.
“Even my brother ( Daniel Bwala), who is about to come on now, I listened to him a few days ago appealing to Atiku to come and join their team.”
