Dele Momodu Predicts Peter Obi's Victory Over Soludo

Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, expressed confidence that Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, could defeat President Bola Tinubu in the South-East and parts of the South-South during the 2027 presidential election. In an interview on Arise Television, Momodu stated, "I can bet my life on it that Peter Obi will humiliate and disgrace Soludo in Anambra state." He described Obi as a "rock star" in these regions, suggesting that his popularity could significantly challenge Tinubu's re-election bid.

Momodu, while supporting former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar's candidacy under the ADC, emphasized the importance of opposition unity to influence the election outcome. He noted that Tinubu would face challenges if Obi maintained his influence in the South-East and South-South, as the President would need substantial support from these regions and would also have to compete in the North.
