Dele Momodu rules out Obi, says 2027 race between Tinubu, Atiku

Ovation Magazine publisher Dele Momodu has ruled out Peter Obi from the 2027 presidential contest, stating that the election will be a straight fight between President Bola Tinubu and former Vice President Atiku Abubakar. In a statement on X, Momodu described the race as a battle of titans, though he acknowledged a possible third-force movement lacking enough firepower to unseat the two elder statesmen. He also warned of rising ethnic and religious tensions and called for issue-based politics and national reconciliation.
