2027: Pdp Fair To South, Tinubu Can Only Be Challenged By A Northerner Momodu

A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP, Dele Momodu, has said the party has been fair to the South and insisted that only a northern candidate can challenge President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election.

Speaking during an appearance on Arise TV on Wednesday, Momodu reacted to the recent defection of former Delta State governor and PDP vice-presidential candidate in 2023, Ifeanyi Okowa, describing the move as opportunistic.

Going to the APC for Okowa was an opportunistic move. Why the hurry? Tinubu has not even done half-time, he said.

Momodu also refuted Okowas claims that Atiku Abubakar was planning to defect to the APC. Okowa had earlier suggested, during an appearance on the same programme on Tuesday, that Atiku was on his way out of the PDP.
