A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has denied claims that he discouraged support for former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who recently defected to the party.
The denial followed a post by an X user, @judeski007, who said he had been supportive of the ADC coalition but expressed reservations about backing an elderly presidential candidate.
“Bob Dee, I hope you see this… I have been rooting for the ADC coalition and rightly so, however, note that we cannot be projecting an 80-year-old man as a candidate unless it’s for your own future personal gains. I will definitely root for Bola Tinubu should Atiku emerge,” the user wrote.
Reacting to the comment, Dele Momodu clarified his position in a post on his verified X handle on Sunday.
“There is nowhere I told you not to root for Obi. He’s not my enemy,” Momodu said.
He added, “But it is my right to state the facts and historical evidence that are available to me. My choice is also mine. We do not have to trade insults. In this game of numbers, every participant is important.”
