Momodu Questions Tinubu’s Commitment to Free and Fair Elections

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has expressed doubts about President Tinubu’s commitment to conducting free and fair elections in 2027, claiming that even some of the President’s supporters harbour similar concerns.

reports that the veteran journalist made the remarks during an interview on Arise News’ Prime Time programme.

Momodu alleged that some Nigerians fear Tinubu might be unwilling to relinquish power if he loses the next presidential election.

He, however, insisted that Nigerians would resist any attempt by the President to remain in office after an electoral defeat.

The ADC chieftain further claimed that some governors elected on the APC platform, alongside judges and legislators, were apprehensive about the possible outcome of the 2027 elections.

Speaking during the interview, Momodu said many Nigerians would question whether Tinubu could be trusted to oversee a credible and transparent electoral process.

He argued that some supporters of the President were confident of victory but, according to him, struggled to explain the basis for their optimism beyond their belief in Tinubu’s political influence.

Momodu also maintained that his confidence in the opposition’s efforts was not based solely on his party, but on what he described as the growing determination of ordinary Nigerians who do not want Tinubu to secure another term.

He recalled Tinubu’s political struggle to win a second term as governor of Lagos State, suggesting that opposition figures were also working behind the scenes to challenge his bid for re-election as President.

The ADC chieftain added that some political figures who publicly support Tinubu were allegedly concerned about the current political climate but were reluctant to express their reservations openly.

He concluded by describing the President’s position within the political establishment as one that many were unwilling to challenge directly.

Momodu’s remarks reflect his personal assessment of the political atmosphere ahead of the 2027 elections and his criticism of the Tinubu administration.

reports that Wike made this known on Thursday, October 15, during his induction into the Idoma Hall of Fame.

The minister revealed that the Senior Pastor of Dunamis International Gospel Centre, Paul Enenche, had invited him to commission a pedestrian bridge constructed by the church.

Wike said he would use the occasion to address members of the congregation and explain what he described as the benefits of the Tinubu administration.

He also claimed that approval for the pedestrian bridge was not granted until the current administration came into office.

“I’m going to Dunamis Church. Pastor Enenche invited me to commission their pedestrian bridge. I’ll go there and speak to the people and tell them there are lots of advantages under this government.

“I’ll tell them nobody approved this bridge until we came. Yes! It’s correct,” Wike said.

The pedestrian bridge was built by Dunamis International Gospel Centre, with its commissioning scheduled for October 30, 2026.

Wike’s comments came less than 24 hours after he attended the inauguration of the Presidential Campaign Council of President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.

During Wednesday’s event, the former Rivers State governor reiterated his support for Tinubu’s re-election bid, pledging to mobilise voters in both Rivers State and the Federal Capital Territory.

He maintained that securing substantial electoral support for the President in the two areas was his primary political responsibility ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“And let me say, I pledged by the grace of God, Rivers and FCT will vote massively for Bola Ahmed Tinubu. That is my joy. I have only two assignments, Rivers and FCT,” Wike declared.
