A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Dele Momodu, has said made a declaration of a likely outcome in the poll in Anambra State.
He has outrightly declared that Peter Obi could defeat President Bola Tinubu in the South-East and parts of the South-South in the 2027 presidential election.
Momodu said Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress’s presidential candidate in the 2023 election, remained popular in the two regions and could pose a major challenge to Tinubu’s re-election bid.
He stated this during an interview on Arise Television on Wednesday, while discussing the opposition’s chances in the 2027 general election.
“I can tell you something. Soludo is the same. I can bet my life on it that Peter Obi will humiliate and disgrace Soludo in Anambra state. I have no question about that,” Momodu said.

“Peter Obi is a rock star. Where he comes from, especially in the South-East and the South-South,” he said.
Momodu, however, declared his support for former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who is also seeking to challenge Tinubu in 2027 under the ADC.
He said he would welcome calls for opposition leaders to unite, noting that their ability to work together could influence the outcome of the election.
“I’m supporting Atiku, but I will be very happy when people say, ‘Oh, if you people don’t come together, you are going to lose election,’” he said.
“The scenario is different this time. Peter Obi will humiliate Tinubu and all his supporters in the South-East and some parts of the South-South. And that’s dangerous for Tinubu,” he said.
“For Tinubu to win, he needs to lock down all the three regions in the South, and he now has to go and struggle in the North, where, number one, he was supported last time by President Muhammadu Buhari,” Momodu said.
