2027: Dele Momodu Shares Plan to Unseat Tinubu

Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, has said the only realistic way for the opposition to defeat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election is to zone the presidency to the Muslim North and the vice presidency to the Christian South.

Momodu stated this on Friday during an interview on Arise Television, monitored by DAILY POST.

He argued that Tinubu has effectively “locked down the South,” making it extremely difficult for any southern presidential candidate — whether from the opposition or not — to challenge him successfully.

“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,” Momodu said.

“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.”

According to the former presidential aspirant, Tinubu’s vast financial resources and control of state structures give him a significant edge ahead of 2027. He maintained that only a well-coordinated northern presidential candidate could provide the opposition with a fighting chance.

Momodu also rejected claims that such zoning would violate the principles of fairness or power rotation, explaining that the idea of an eight-year North–South power rotation is not enshrined in Nigeria’s Constitution.
