Momodu Warns of Unprecedented Hatred Against Tinubu Ahead of 2027 Election
A senior figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has expressed serious concerns about President Bola Tinubu’s prospects of securing a second term in 2027. He said the level of opposition to the president has reached an unprecedented point.
Momodu made the remarks during an interview with media personality Rufai Oseni. He explained that winning the presidency requires more than just the highest vote total; a candidate must also obtain the constitutionally mandated geographic spread of votes.
“What he needs to win is first to secure at least 25 percent of the votes, which is mandatory,” Momodu stated. He added that, beyond that, a candidate must win in a minimum number of states to satisfy the spread requirement.
“Once he can meet that target of a minimum of 25 states, I don’t see how he won’t get it this time,” he said. However, he cautioned that Tinubu will face a far tougher battle in 2027 because of what he described as widespread public resentment toward the administration.
The ADC chieftain noted that dissatisfaction with Tinubu is not limited to opposition parties; it also includes members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). “The majority of the people are opposed to him right now, including people within his own party,” he added.
Momodu pointed out that Tinubu’s previous victory relied heavily on strong support from northern voters. He argued that this backing has eroded, and the president no longer enjoys comparable support in the north or the south.
He also predicted that Tinubu would again struggle in Osun State, his ancestral home. “Osun State, where he comes from, rejected him last time, and I know they will reject him again,” Momodu said.
