Ovation publisher and a two-term presidential aspirant and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, on Tuesday, June 10, asserted that his soul has already left the PDP, while only his body remained in the party.
Momodu made this submission while featuring on a Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State monthly programme: “Guest of the Month,” in Ibadan, the state capital.
The presidential hopeful also stated that the PDP is the only opposition party that has what it takes to challenge President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and the All Progressives Congress (APC)’s dominance in 2027.
However, Momodu added that some PDP members are being used as a tool to destabilise Nigeria’s main opposition party, The Punch reported.
Momodu said: “If PDP is united, it has all that it takes to wrest power from the All Progressives Congress in 2027, but forces against it would not allow this to be.
“The APC is jittery of the PDP, noting that it is the only opposition party that can challenge its dominance in 2027. This is one of the reasons why the leadership of the APC at all levels is ensuring that the party is factionalided.”
“There is no way that a disunited PDP can wrest power from APC in 2027. The ideology of the ruling party is to weaken the main opposition party.
Momodu explained further that it’s almost impossible to remove President Tinubu in 2027 unless there is a formidable team and coalition.
“Also, whoever would contest favourably against the current president must come from the opposite direction in terms of regions in Nigeria,” he added
