Dele Momodu backs Atiku-Obi ticket, warns APC in panic over 2027 race
Media mogul Dele Momodu endorsed a presidential ticket pairing Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi for the African Democratic Congress (ADC), stating they worked together in 2019 and share a similar temperament. Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, Momodu said the duo would easily attract the same supporters who backed Obi’s third-place finish in the last election. He also claimed the All Progressives Congress (APC) is in panic because of the growing opposition presence in ADC, alleging that APC leaders fear opposition figures will undermine each other to weaken any strong challenger to President Tinubu. Momodu insisted the panic is visible despite APC gathering governors, ministers, and legislators. This commentary highlights a potential formidable opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 general elections, suggesting APC may face internal doubts about its ability to retain power. The ADC’s ability to unite prominent figures like Atiku and Obi could reshape electoral dynamics and voter calculations nationwide. If Atiku and Obi unite, will you consider supporting ADC over APC in 2027, or does APC's alleged panic signal internal weaknesses you should monitor as the election approaches?
