Published

on

Professor Udenta Udenta, the former National Secretary of the defunct Alliance for Democracy (AD), has offered his perspective on the upcoming 2027 presidential race in Nigeria. During an interview on Arise News this past Thursday, he emphasized that the election will be highly competitive, requiring candidates to build broad, national support to succeed.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

  • Constitutional Hurdles: Udenta noted that the constitutional mandate requiring a candidate to secure at least 25% of the vote across no fewer than 24 states remains a significant challenge for any contender.

  • Doubts Regarding Atiku’s Prospects: He expressed skepticism about former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s ability to meet these constitutional requirements, specifically in the Southern region.

  • The Southern Battleground: Asserting that the South will be pivotal in 2027, Udenta claimed he does not foresee Atiku achieving even 10% of the vote in any Southern state, which would severely hinder his path to the presidency.

  • The Necessity of National Support: Udenta stressed that no candidate can rely on a single region for victory; instead, parties must focus on strengthening grassroots structures, refining their campaign organizations, and mobilizing a nationwide voter base.

As Udenta summarized, “Atiku may not get up to 10 percent of the vote in any Southern state, winning 25 percent of the votes in at least 24 states will not be easy”.
