A former presidential aspirant, Dele Momodu has claimed that the only Southern candidate who can match President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election is not ready to stress himself.

He claimed the candidate is former President Goodluck Jonathan.

Momodu made the submission during an interview with New Telegraph in which he spoke about the current political landscape in Nigeria and expectations for the 2027 election.

He said, “No Southern candidate can take on Tinubu except a Goodluck Jonathan, for example. But I doubt if he would want to stress himself.

“He’s not the kind of person; you can see that he’s a man of contentment, and he’s an intellectual who believes that even where he goes, he never expected to get to that level. So, it might be difficult for him. The only man they fear, and that’s why they’re already demarketing him in advance, is Atiku Abubakar.”
