Dele Momodu accuses PDP governors of working for Tinubu

The publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, has revealed that some elected governors on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who are against the possibility of a coalition ahead of the 2027 elections may secretly be working for President Bola Tinubu.

In a statement on Monday, the PDP governors ruled out the possibility of a merger or coalition with any other political party ahead of the 2027 elections.

There have been talks about opposition parties coming together to form a coalition to take on the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the next elections.

Speaking on Arise Television on Monday, Momodu said none of the leading opposition parties can individually unseat Tinubu in 2027.

The PDP chieftain advised the opposition to unite and adopt the same tactics the APC used in 2015 to win the election.

“Opposition leaders are very determined this time around to work together. The truth of the matter is Atiku cannot do it alone, Peter Obi cannot do it alone, and Rabiu Kwankwanso cannot do it alone,” Momodu said.

“So naturally, they have to find a way to pay APC back in its own coins by trying to get at least a chunk of all the parties, including the APC, to come together.

“If our governors are saying no, we don’t want to go into a coalition, then it means that surreptitiously you are probably working for a Tinubu presidency.

“People must learn from history; a bully only respects a bully, but all of us are already behaving like chickens. Anything, people panic, saying they are going to use the EFCC or arrest them.

“Any governor or any senator or house member who may be tempted to just jump ship may jump to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.”
