In a recent interview from 1:32:14on Nevon HQ, on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, Dele Momodu, an ADC chieftain, assessed the likely voting patterns ahead of the 2027 presidential election, highlighting the continued political influence of Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in the Southeast. He said regional support would remain an important factor in the election, although it would be only one part of a broader national contest.
Momodu explained that every major presidential candidate would rely on traditional strongholds while seeking to expand support into other geopolitical zones. He added that winning the presidency requires broad national acceptance rather than overwhelming support in a single region.
Speaking during the interview, Momodu stated, “Our brother Peter Obi will dominate the Southeast, but that will not pose a danger to BAT.” He made the remark while outlining his projections for how different candidates could perform across the country.
According to Momodu, Obi is expected to retain considerable popularity in the Southeast because of the goodwill he continues to enjoy in the region. However, he argued that the outcome of the presidential election would ultimately depend on voting patterns in other parts of the country, particularly the North and the Southwest.
Momodu further stated that the 2027 election would likely be influenced by coalition-building, voter turnout, and the ability of candidates to convince Nigerians that they possess practical solutions to the country’s economic and security challenges. He stressed that campaigns should focus on policies rather than personalities.
He concluded by urging Nigerians to evaluate all presidential aspirants based on competence, integrity, and their vision for national development, emphasizing that informed voter participation remains essential to strengthening Nigeria’s democracy….See More
