Momodu is just saying what is on the minds of many Nigerians: the biggest threat facing the opposition is not the ruling party, but its own disunity. In the political environment where suffering is mounting and frustration is growing among people, they do not only want the opposition to offer criticism but also structure, cohesiveness, and a valid alternative.
The perception of the central opposition leaders working in silos and cultivating personal ambition with no consolidated front strengthens the opinion that 2027 can be another lost chance unless concrete action is taken at present.
To several Nigerians, the fact that Momodu supports Atiku as the only person who is pursuing his dreams practically shows the increasing demand of political maturity in the opposition camp.
Atiku may agree or disagree with his politics, but the very fact that he seems to be building alliances, mobilizing structures, and planning strategically is very contrasting to those who seem to be relying only on public goodwill or influence of social media.
Voters are also seeking signs of groundwork, coalition building, and competence and not just rhetoric or popularism. This fact will be taken into consideration in regard to the seriousness of the opposition taken in the next few months.
Finally, the opposition should stop being egocentric, and it should adopt the concept of coalition thinking in case it is indeed serious about the ability to offer a viable alternative in 2027. Nigerians prefer to have one unified and believable front that can express itself in a clear rescue strategy rather than having various camps in every direction.
The suggestion is quite straightforward: create an opposition roundtable, align interests, and develop a shared strategy based on policy, structure, and national unity. Otherwise, the Nigerians might be forced to choose a binary once more, which would not bring much transformation to the path of the country.
