Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, believes that the only option for the opposition to beat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election is to zone the presidency and vice presidency to the Muslim North and Christian South, respectively.
Momodu mentioned this on Friday during an interview with Arise Television.
He said that President Tinubu had already locked down the South, making it nearly impossible for any southern presidential contender to fight successfully against him.

“It’s obvious that the ruling government has already turned this into an ethnic battle, and it’s going to be a battle of North versus South.
“That is why you saw PDP and APC apparatchiks all struggling to insist that a candidate must come from the South. They know that President Tinubu has already locked down the South, and nobody — not Peter Obi, not Goodluck Jonathan, will be able to catch up with him where he is right now,” he said.
According to him, President Tinubu’s immense financial resources and control of state structures give him a major advantage, adding that only a strategic counterbalance from the North could tilt the balance in favour of the opposition.
