A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has alleged that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is making moves to ensure that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerges as the only candidate on the ballot in the 2027 general elections.
Momodu made the claim on Thursday during an interview on Arise Television.
The former presidential aspirant added that the APC’s control of 31 governors does not intimidate the opposition, insisting that if elections were conducted today, the ruling party would be defeated. The publisher of Ovation Magazine also took a swipe at the conduct of the FCT Area Councils elections.
“The APC is trying to make sure that President Tinubu is the only candidate on the ballot.
“They are trying to manoeuvre, but Nigerians are wiser than them. We are not worried or panicking in the ADC.
“Just one election in a small city like FCT, they had to declare a curfew, and the minister of the FCT became the IGP, personally supervising polling stations across the city,” he said
