Media entrepreneur, Chief Dele Momodu, has revealed that Peter Obi declined suggestions to align politically with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the 2027 presidential race because he believed he was more popular than the ex-VP.
Momodu made the disclosure during an interview on the Naija Unfiltered Podcast, where he recounted conversations he had with Obi regarding the possibility of working with Atiku.
According to him, he advised the former Anambra State governor to consider teaming up with Atiku, citing examples of political leaders who rose to the highest office after serving as vice presidents.
“I told Peter why don’t you go and work with Atiku. Atiku was the person who brought him to national prominence,” Momodu said.
