The Deputy Director-General, Media and Communications of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign, Dele Momodu, has described the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as the best candidate for the 2027 election.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Thursday, Momodu said Atiku had been the most deliberate and focused candidate since he first sought the presidency in 1993.
The ADC chieftain claimed that President Bola Tinubu, who is seeking re-election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), also knows that the former vice president is better suited for the job.
“When I say he (Atiku) is the best, it is a statement of fact and even President Bola Tinubu himself knows that,” Momodu said. “That is why at a time, he invited him and they joined hands for Atiku to run in the past.”
Comparing the credentials of the three major presidential candidates, Momodu said Tinubu’s strongest credential was his tenure as governor of Lagos State, while Atiku’s was his experience as vice president and Peter Obi’s as governor of Anambra State.
He argued that Tinubu had underestimated the differences between governing Lagos and leading Nigeria.
“So, if you look at the three mainstream candidates today, the APC candidate Bola Tinubu, the ADC candidate Atiku Abubakar and the NDC candidate Peter Obi, you can judge for yourself. Bola Tinubu came, his best credential was being the former governor of Lagos State; Atiku came, his best credential was being the former vice president of Nigeria; Peter Obi came, his best credential was being the governor of Anambra State.
“So, if you judge for yourself, you will know that perhaps what has happened to President Tinubu is the fact that when he got to the Presidency, he assumed that Nigeria was Lagos and he soon discovered that Nigeria is different from Lagos and that is why he’s had total commotional confusion and his guys are running all over the places throwing money around.”
Momodu also accused the Tinubu administration of failing to be sincere with Nigerians, alleging that officials around the President were more concerned with telling him what he wanted to hear than confronting him with the realities facing the country.
“What is lacking in this government is that sincerity. Everything is about one man. The people who are running our economy today have to tell Nigerians only what they think the president wants to hear. They are not telling him the truth, and when tomorrow comes, he will realise it,” he added.
