Momodu Reveals Obi’s Confidence: He’s More Popular Than Atiku Ahead of 2027
Former presidential candidate Dele Momodu shared insights from his recent podcast interview on Naija Unfiltered. He recalled advising Peter Obi to team up with Atiku Abubakar, noting Atiku had raised Obi’s national profile when he picked him as running mate in 2019. Momodu pointed to leaders like John Mahama, Goodluck Jonathan and Joe Biden who leveraged vice-presidential roles to win the top job. Obi, however, was unmoved. He told Momodu he believed he was already more popular than Atiku and preferred to go solo into the 2027 race. The exchange highlights Obi’s growing confidence and his calculations ahead of the next presidential contest.
