2027: Peter Obi told me he's more popular than Atiku - Dele Momodu

Media entrepreneur Dele Momodu revealed that Peter Obi declined to align with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 presidential race because Obi believed he was more popular than Atiku. Momodu advised Obi to work with Atiku, citing examples of vice presidents who later became presidents, such as John Mahama and Goodluck Jonathan. Obi was not persuaded and asserted his own popularity. The disclosure was made during an interview on the Naija Unfiltered Podcast.
