ABUJA — Veteran journalist and African Democratic Congress (ADC) chieftain Dele Momodu has asserted that former Anambra State Governor Peter Obi will roundly defeat incumbent Governor Chukwuma Soludo in Anambra State during the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during an interview on Arise News on Wednesday, Momodu offered a bold assessment of the political dynamics in the South-East, declaring that Obi’s grassroots popularity remains unmatched in the region.
“I can tell you something. Soludo is the same. I can bet my life on it that Peter Obi will humiliate and disgrace Soludo in Anambra State. I have no question about that,” Momodu stated.
Describing the 2023 Labour Party presidential candidate as a political “rock star” across the South-East and South-South geopolitical zones, Momodu argued that any attempts by political figures like Soludo—who recently aligned with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s campaign structure—to curtail Obi’s influence in Anambra will prove unsuccessful at the polls.
Momodu, who reaffirmed his own political alignment with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, added that Obi’s stronghold in the South-East will pose a formidable challenge to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and its regional allies when voters head to the polls in 2027.
