Peter Obi<\/strong>, Nasir El-Rufai, Aminu Tambuwal, and Rotimi Amaechi.<\/p>\nDele Momodu also said the ADC will give the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) a close run in the 2027 election and will ensure that candidates are given the firepower to take on the\u00a0 All Progressives Congress (APC) on their own turf.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThere will always be hardliners in politics, it\u2019s a matter of principle and strategy. At this stage nobody should say it\u2019s only my candidate and it should be my candidate, but don\u2019t let it get acrimonious.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cWe have to be careful because that is the wish of the ruling party that we will not be able to agree or disagree to agree. I have spoken to Peter Obi privately and publicly, so at this stage I believe that our alliance should be to the party that includes me.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cI have said it that if I wanted a candidate, my own candidate will be Atiku for matters of strategy, on matters of exposure, experience, and in the days of tributions you run to the elders of the house who can now bring out the wisdom to make sure that things are straightened out.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThere are many big whiz who can deliver for ADC, they include the former governor of Sokoto State, Tambuwal; El-Rufai, Amaechi, so we have a rich and robust line for the ADC, so for me, it\u2019s not about one man.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAnd of course, we have Mr Peter Obi, who INEC recorded, maybe, controversial as coming third, Atiku coming second in the last election. So ADC is blessed.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cThe top three candidates in the last election, ADC already parades two of them, so that should tell us that if we manage ourselves very well we already have overwhelming votes to topple the APC.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cAPC is one position so I don\u2019t know why people think it\u2019s impossible to remove Asiwaju.<\/em><\/p>\n\u201cTrust me, for as long as we give INEC close marking and that is why you need candidates who will be given to generate the fire power to take on APC on their own turf.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
