Peter Obi’s Solo Bid: Defeating Tinubu in 2027

I’m convinced Peter Obi must run alone in 2027 to have any chance against Tinubu. The North is disillusioned with Tinubu’s government, especially in North Central where violence has driven people away. His support in the North East and North West has collapsed, creating an opening for Obi. If Tinubu loses a significant share of northern votes to Atiku, Obi only needs to hold his southern base and split votes with Tinubu. That scenario could pave the way for an Atiku presidency. The ADC factor complicates things further. If Atiku wins their ticket, APC will stoke fears of prolonged southern rule, hurting Atiku’s southern appeal. If Obi or another southern candidate leads ADC, APC can still play the “12 years of southern dominance” card to rally northern votes. In a three-way race, Obi’s solo run might actually strengthen Atiku by uniting the North behind him. What do you think?
