Publisher and politician Dele Momodu has criticized the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for its decision to zone the 2027 presidential ticket to Southern Nigeria.
He called it “the most reckless decision in the history of our nascent democracy.”
In a statement on his Instagram handle, Momodu accused the PDP of “shooting itself in the leg” by giving in to what he called “cheap and puerile blackmail” from opposition figures.
He claimed these individuals are secretly working for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Momodu wrote, “Yesterday, one of Africa’s biggest, but seriously embattled, political parties shot itself in the leg by choosing to hide behind one finger.”

Momodu directly connected the zoning decision to former Rivers State Governor Nyesam Wike and President Bola Tinubu.
He wrote, “Who did not know that ultimately the hand was that of Wike while the voice was that of Tinubu. Their gameplan is not hidden.”
He also stated that Wike “keeps belching orders at helpless governors who are too jittery to stand firm against daredevil dictatorship.”

He challenged them to “be courageous enough to admit that Tinubu will be the joint candidate of APC and PDP in 2027.”
He also asserted that “No Jupiter will stop Wike from using PDP structures for Tinubu. That’s already a done deal.”
Momodu dismissed speculation about potential Southern candidates like “Goodluck Jonathan, Peter Obi and Seyi Makinde” as “blatant lies from the pit of hell.”
Momodu further accused the PDP of hypocrisy, citing past political events.
He questioned where “these guys” were when “President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua died and no one fought for his replacement from the North after Jonathan completed their first term.”
He also asked, “Where were they when Tinubu ran on a Muslim/Muslim ticket?” He concluded that “TRUTH must not be selective…”
