A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has disclosed that the 2027 presidential candidate of the Nigerian Democratic Congress, NDC, Peter Obi, believes that he’s the only messiah that can save Nigeria.
Momodu disclosed this while noting that Obi can’t control his followers.
In an interview on Symfoni TV, the former presidential candidate said: “Peter Obi believes and he has convinced himself and his supporters believe that he’s the only messiah that can save Nigeria.
“I told him to please lead your supporters and don’t let your supporters become your leader.
“I knew that he viewed them with repudiation, Peter can’t control his followers and even those who can’t give him 10 votes kept threatening that if you agree to be VP we are not going to follow you and we are going to disown you. This is a democracy.”
Momodu noted that Obi believed that Kwankwaso is a perfect match for him as running mate.
He added: “Let me tell you the final one, by the time he finally got another good friend of mine, Kwankwaso to agree to be his running mate, the same Kwankwaso who said during the last election that he can’t be subordinate to Peter which he said on video and is on record, Peter believes that this is a perfect match.
“I went to check the records, how well did Kwankwaso do across Nigeria, he recorded over one million votes overall and 900,000 which came from Kano.
“So Atiku came second in that election, Peter came third, and Kwankwaso came fourth, so why do you want to reinvent the will? Match Atiku’s 6.9 million plus your own 6.1 million, you will handsomely have about 13 million votes.”
