PDP’s Zoning Presidential Ticket to South is a done deal for Tinubu’s re-election – Dele Momodu
Former presidential candidate, Dele Momodu, has strongly criticized the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) decision to zone its presidential ticket to the South, calling it a “done deal” for President Bola Tinubu’s re-election.
In a post on his Instagram handle, Momodu described the move as the most reckless decision in the history of Nigeria’s nascent democracy.
Momodu’s comments suggest that he views the PDP’s decision as a strategic blunder that will weaken the opposition and inadvertently pave the way for the APC’s victory in the 2027 elections. This comes amidst a backdrop of political maneuvering, with Momodu himself recently having left the PDP and joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to be part of a new opposition coalition.
“Yesterday, one of Africa’s biggest, but seriously embattled, political parties shot itself in the leg by choosing to hide behind one finger.
“The PDP finally succumbed to the cheap and puerile blackmail of the black sheep in the opposition party who are openly and daringly working for the ruling party.
“The shame of it was seeing the so-called seasoned politicians engage in self-adulation for taking the most reckless decision in the history of our nascent democracy, by zoning the 2027 presidential candidacy to Southern Nigeria.
“No Jupiter will stop Wike from using PDP structures for Tinubu. That’s already a done deal. Let PDP stop deceiving Nigerians that it will field a Southern candidate against Tinubu. Speculations about the possible candidacy of Goodluck Jonathan, Peter Obi and Seyi Makinde are blatant lies from the pit of hell,” he wrote.
