During the interview, Momodu stated, “Those who are jubilating that the election will be over before 12 noon are being naive.”
He made the remark while analyzing early predictions about the likely outcome of the presidential race and the strength of competing political alliances.
Momodu explained that Nigerian elections are often unpredictable and cannot be determined by early assumptions or social media enthusiasm. According to him, historical voting patterns show that elections typically become competitive despite early expectations of easy victories.
He argued that political outcomes in Nigeria are shaped by last-minute alliances, regional mobilization, voter turnout, and strategic campaigning rather than early declarations of dominance.
The ADC chieftain further noted that many political observers often misjudge the electoral landscape by relying on assumptions rather than ground-level realities. He stressed that elections are not decided until votes are cast and counted across all regions.
Momodu also warned opposition supporters against complacency, adding that overconfidence can weaken political strategy and reduce the effectiveness of campaign efforts.
He concluded that the 2027 presidential election is likely to be more competitive than many anticipate, urging political actors to focus on organization, outreach, and coalition-building rather than early celebration or predictions of easy victory.
