Dele Momodu, a veteran journalist and former presidential candidate, has accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of attempting to make President Bola Ahmed Tinubu the sole candidate in the 2027 general elections.

In an interview with Arise Television on Thursday, Momodu dismissed the APC’s claim to have the support of 31 governors, saying the number means little to the opposition.

He also claimed that if an election were held now, the ruling party would lose.

Momodu also criticized the conduct of the recent Federal Capital Territory Area Council elections, saying the situation reflected desperation on the part of the ruling party.

According to him, authorities imposed strict measures during the election period.
