Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, says God and destiny will determine whether Atiku Abubakar becomes the country’s president in 2027.
Speaking in an interview on Channels Television on Monday, Momodu, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), wondered why critics of Abubakar are scared of his presidential ambition.
When Momodu was asked to react to Fayose’s comments on Abubakar’s presidential ambition, he said those criticising Abubakar’s presidential ambition did not support young candidates during the 2023 elections.
The PDP chieftain cited US President Joe Biden and Donald Trump as examples of politicians who became presidents at an advanced age.
“What has been the impact of these younger people who said they have been in politics?” Momodu asked.
“Go and check their states. What have they done for the amount of money made available to them?
“Age cannot be an automatic qualification or disqualification in politics, “It is up to God and destiny. I am a child of destiny and that is why I have contentment, he said.
Asked if Abubakar would be a threat to President Bola Tinubu’s re-election in 2027, Momodu said: “I’m sure they (Abubakar’s critics) believe so. I know those who believe that he is the only one right now.
