He also admitted he would be supporting Atiku ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Channels TV on Thursday, Momodu insisted his support for Atiku is based on a strategic understanding of Nigeria\u2019s political reality.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cEverybody is afraid of Atiku, and that is exactly why I, Dele Momodu, support him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fear the ruling party has for him shows he remains the most formidable opposition figure today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen everyone is trying to discredit or silence a man, it means he\u2019s the one they truly fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

Momodu in the past contested for the presidency in 2011 and participated in the PDP primaries in 2022.<\/p>\n
