A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, on Monday, said the party’s flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar is President Bola Tinubu’s biggest challenger.

Momodu said the 2027 presidential election is between Atiku and President Tinubu, stressing that it’s a battle of the titans.

Posting on X, Momodu charged the ADC to change its political strategies to accommodate new ways of playing politics.

The former presidential candidate said it’s time for national reconciliation, re-orientation, and reconstruction.

He wrote: “The 2027 Presidential election is expected to be a major fight between President Bola Tinubu and his biggest challenger, Atiku Abubakar. It promises to be the battle of the Titans. A third force, hopefully, may show up, like it did in 2023, but not with enough fire power and tenacity to upstage, and obliterate, the two elder statesmen.

This is why it has become pertinent, and urgent, for our dear party ADC to change the traditional way of playing politics by becoming a link between the old and modern, conservative and cosmopolitan tendencies, veteran politicians and technocrats in government.

“There’s no better combination than this duo, assuring of a colorful blend. The North and the South will reunite in a game of ethnic and religious rivalries.

“The present combustive tensions, and absolute chaos, cannot be allowed to continue. It will consume all of us, the time has come to retrace our steps and return to the days of robust ideas, ideologies and inspirational figures.

Our founding fathers such as Dr. Nnamdi Azikiwe, The Sardauna Sir Ahmadu Bello, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, and others, tried their best, even if they were not perfect. Today, we’ve completely derailed from the legacies they bequeathed to us.

“The politics of gansterism has become unbearably malignant in our nation. This is the type of strong bridge we need between the North and the South. We must act before it is too late.”
