Momodu Warns Governors on Supporting Tinubu's Return

In a recent interview, Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, expressed his shock and concern regarding the overwhelming support President Tinubu has received from state governors. He warned that this trend could lead Nigeria into a "full-blown dictatorship," where governors would become subservient to the president.

Momodu criticized the governors for prioritizing their political survival over democratic principles, questioning their sudden loyalty to Tinubu as he seeks a second term in 2027. He highlighted the risks associated with weakening institutional checks and balances, which could leave governors vulnerable.

His remarks come amid growing political tensions and a wave of defections from opposition parties to the ruling APC, raising speculations about the strength of the opposition ahead of the upcoming elections. Momodu's statements reflect the ongoing realignment and reshaping of Nigeria's political landscape as the 2027 general elections approach.
