Media mogul Dele Momodu has said a presidential ticket pairing Atiku Abubakar with Peter Obi would be a strong and competitive option for the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
Momodu made the remark on Tuesday while appearing on Politics Today on Channels Television.
He noted that both politicians had previously worked together during the 2019 elections, suggesting that their existing partnership could be an advantage.
“I’d pair him (Atiku) with Peter Obi because they worked together in 2019, so they already share a similar temperament,” Momodu said.
“Peter Obi came third in the last election, so you don’t have to work too hard to maintain and attract the same group of people who support him.”
Momodu further claimed that the growing presence of prominent opposition figures within the ADC is causing concern in the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
According to him, the consolidation of major opposition leaders under one platform could pose a significant challenge to the party.
“They cannot believe that we may have four or five major opposition leaders in one place, and some people will try to weaken them so none is strong enough to challenge the leader,” he said.
“It is reality; let’s not hide behind one finger. Despite assembling governors, ministers, and legislators, you can see clear signs of panic in the party,” Momodu added.
