Momodu: Only God and Destiny Can Decide Atiku’s Political Future

Dele Momodu, a former presidential aspirant, has stated that only God and destiny can ultimately determine the future political career of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
His comments come in response to advice given by former Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, who suggested that Atiku should refrain from participating in any future elections in Nigeria.
Atiku, who served as Vice President under President Olusegun Obasanjo, has unsuccessfully contested for the presidency six times, in 1993, 2007, 2011, 2015, 2019, and most recently in 2023.
Despite these defeats, there are strong indications that he may attempt another run in 2027 under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
His body language, along with recent political moves, suggests he is preparing for another bid.
Momodu, while speaking on Channels Television’s “Politics Today,” emphasized that age should not be a disqualifying factor in politics, citing global examples.
He argued that some of the younger politicians who have been entrusted with leadership positions in Nigeria have not delivered on their promises.
He questioned the performance of these younger leaders, asking what they have achieved with the resources allocated to them in their respective states.
“Age cannot automatically qualify or disqualify someone in politics,” Momodu asserted.
He further pointed out that if age had been a decisive factor, leaders like U.S. President Joe Biden would not have emerged after Barack Obama.
“It’s ultimately up to God and destiny to decide a person’s path. I am a believer in destiny, and that is why I find contentment in life,” he added.
Regarding Atiku’s potential bid for the presidency in 2027, Momodu expressed support, saying, “If Alhaji Atiku chooses to run again, then good luck to him.
If he decides not to, it’s also fine. No one has the right to force him out of the political arena.
Why are people so afraid of him?” Momodu questioned the motives of those advising Atiku to step down from politics, suggesting that there may be concerns about his continued influence.
When asked whether Atiku would pose a significant threat to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election efforts in 2027, Momodu was careful not to give a direct answer.
However, he noted that many within the political landscape believe that Atiku remains a formidable candidate.
“I know there are people who view him as the most viable option at the moment.
He will be a threat if he can rally the support of a major political party and consolidate his base,” he said.
Momodu’s remarks highlight the ongoing debate surrounding the future of Nigeria’s political leadership, with figures like Atiku remaining central to the conversation.
Despite repeated setbacks, Atiku continues to be a significant player within the PDP, and his potential candidacy for 2027 could reignite political rivalries as the nation prepares for another election cycle.

Kenneth Okonkwo Says Peter Obi Betrayed Him by Supporting Abure Group

Veteran Nollywood actor Kenneth Okonkwo has opened up about what he calls a betrayal by Peter Obi, the former presidential candidate of the Labour Party. In a recent interview with Symfoni, Okonkwo revealed that his decision to quit the party earlier in February 2025 was influenced by Obi’s actions during a leadership crisis within the party.
Okonkwo, who once served as a spokesperson for Obi’s presidential campaign, said the former Anambra State governor ignored his counsel and returned to support the Julius Abure-led faction—despite ongoing controversies surrounding that group. He explained that Obi was misinformed by party executives who claimed that the Abure-led camp had been recognised by INEC. But in his view, Obi’s move went against everything he had previously stood for.
“Any serious politician knows how not to be misled,” Okonkwo said. “But in this case, it was Obi who betrayed me. I warned him—these people are not democratic. INEC recognition isn’t enough reason to return to a group that goes against the values you publicly uphold. If you align with them again, you risk your political credibility and everything you’ve worked for.”

“I’ll Keep Giving Tinubu Haters High Blood Pressure” – Wike Says

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has promised to keep unsettling those who oppose President Bola Tinubu by continuing to deliver impactful projects across Abuja. Speaking at the commissioning of key roads including the Arterial Road N16 and other projects in the Katampe district, Wike said he now fully understands how much resentment some people have for the President’s achievements since taking office in 2023.
According to Wike, a recent moment while watching TV opened his eyes to how deeply some critics are affected by Tinubu’s progress. “Something just moved me to switch on the TV, and I saw the anger and pain on people’s faces,” Wike said. “Now I get it—some people are really hurting. So I’ve taken it upon myself to increase their blood pressure with more good work.”
He added that while critics stay bitter, he and others will keep enjoying the results of their efforts. “We’ll be smiling, moving around freely, while they stay mad and frustrated. That’s my new mission,” he said. Wike thanked President Tinubu for leading what he described as a development revolution in the FCT.
