2027: ‘They’ll Defeat Him’ – Udenta Names ADC Ticket To Send Tinubu Packing by SlavaUkraini(op): 8:51am On Apr 20

A frontline political scientist and public affairs analyst, Udenta Udenta, has stated that a presidential ticket featuring a strong southern candidate like Peter Obi alongside a credible northern running mate could potentially defeat President Bola Tinubu in the upcoming 2027 general elections.

Udenta, who is a founding national secretary of the Alliance for Democracy, expressed these views while appearing as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.

He posited that the current political environment is conducive to a broad-based opposition alliance that emphasizes regional balance.

He said, “Any pairing today, a Peter Obi in the South and anyone else in the North, will defeat Bola Tinubu in 2027.”

The professor highlighted that Obi is the most prominent opposition figure in southern Nigeria, noting that the selection of a northern counterpart would be crucial for the opposition’s success.

He added, “The pairing in the South, what is evident and apparent, is Peter Obi, essentially in the South.

“The decision regarding who they choose in the North is for them to determine.”

Udenta further argued that deteriorating economic conditions could influence voter behavior as the next election approaches, indicating that public sentiment towards the current administration may negatively impact the ruling party.

He continued, “For Nigerians to long for the Buhari presidency is indicative of the failures of the Tinubu-led government. The question the President must consider as Nigerians approach an election is not about rhetoric or showmanship.

“How were we on May 29, 2023, and how are we today? The response will be clear: We are in a worse situation today than we were under the Buhari presidency.

“Abstract figures regarding macroeconomic stability or reduced inflation will not resonate with the populace; it is hunger that will speak for them. What truly matters is the standard of living.”

The public affairs analyst’s comments arise amid ongoing conversations within opposition factions about the possibility of forming a united front in preparation for the 2027 election.

The best combination that would defeat this government is Goodluck Jonathan and Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso.
All they have to do is convince GEJ to come on board.

The last time an incumbent southern president was defeated in an election was by a northern candidate backed with a section of the south.

To remove Tinubu it has to be a strong northern candidate paired with a strong support from a section of the south.

Putting up a southern candidate against Tinubu may result in victory for Tinubu. The northerners may vote Tinubu because they’re guaranteed power after his second 4 years.

Peter Obi vs Tinubu in an election will favor Tinubu more.

I suspect those pushing the narrative are working for APC either directly or indirectly.

Tinubu vs a strong northern candidate is what can remove him from that seat.

Our goal should be to oust this government and party first.

Very funny analysis. You want to kick somebody like tinubu out , and you think Obi has what it takes huh

If u like pair Obi with two Northerns as vice na still failure . Its like these obedience delulu don't understand what they are up against.

Only ATIKU stands a chance against balabluuu.

Any body saying otherwise is consciously or unconsciously working for tinubu.

Obidients are too kind, same Kwankwaso that rejected the offer in 2023, now that he was exposed in that election, you guys are running wild that he has agreed to deputise Obi. Common this guy has been openly demystified, he could not get up to 100k votes in any State in the North, aside his home State, talk less of the South. Not saying Obi should not work with him to secure the presidential ticket of ADC but he should not think it's his birthright if Obi secures it. Unless the data shows he can be of suitable benefit in winning the general election. My view is Obi should fight for the ticket, with his support against Atiku who is the bookies favourite, and if he gets it, sit down with stakeholders in the party and make sure Atiku's camp has a buy-in into whoever is selected as his VP candidate. For me, the goal should be to make sure the opposition is united but most importantly Atiku's structures and Obi's popularity and youthful mobilization. 6.1+6.9;13M. Because come to think of it, this was same Kwankwaso that was in discussion with Tinubu just last month, even his 1.3+Tinubu's 8.7 is 10M. And Tinubu will ensure to improve on that number this year across all the States, especially in the South. Obidients should look to doing the same across all the States in the North not just in Kano state. Synergy with Atiku's camp at the end of the day is the true answer.

Anybody else, including Portable the lousy Music Artist can defeat Tinubu in a free and fair election.

The only reason we are looking for a strong Southern and Northern combo or alliance to compete with Tinubu is to make sure Tinubu and INEC's rigging plans are stopped and if they dare repeat the nonsense they did in 2023, then they should prepare for a nationwide revolution. That is the only reason Nigerians want a strong Northern candidate and a strong Southern candidate, not that Tinubu is difficult to defeat, even the owner of nairaland will win Tinubu hands down if INEC conduct free, fair, credible election grin

Anybody today can defeat Tinubu.

On his own, he can’t even pull 500,000 votes nationwide.

He relies on governors, senators, reps, LGA chairmen, agberos, and thugs to intimidate voters and snatch ballot boxes.

No real mass appeal, just criminal machinery to snatch it, grab it and run away with it

Udenta also claimed Atiku would defeat Tinubu in 2023.

Atiku defeated Tinubu in their imaginations.

The way the northerners voted in 2023 revealed something. They respected zoning arrangements and Buhari was a force. Atiku, a Fulani and core noetherner, lost to a southerner in the north. Atiku lost two of the three northwest zones.

If ADC fields a southerner, the southerner may seek a second term. They know this. How will Obi be marketed to northerners? Is it through those sub-par boreholes or those eating with children inside mosque? Tinubu was trusted by the north because he worked for one of their own. Who has Obi worked for in the north apart from Abacha?

Who has Atiku ever worked for in the south?

To win elections in Nigeria requires building networks across the Niger. Atiku seems to have done so but lacks the ability to hold people together. Also, he surrounds himself with people we have advised him to avoid.

Tinubu really have to go, there is no two ways about it. If he refuses to go by free and fair election, then he should be expecting a revolution if he and INEC dare rig the election.

The man doesn't know his left from his right and just like Buhari, they keep finding themselves in exalted leadership positions due to tribalism, bigotry and foolishness of many Nigerians.

In which other nation can someone like Tinubu with no known history of his childhood, Primary school, secondary school, real job and source of wealth become President if not Nigeria?

Tell me any other country where a Presidential candidate refused to tell the electorates his plans and agenda for contesting to become President and he still ended up being foisted on the nation as President if not in Nigeria?
