Veteran journalist and politician Dele Momodu has addressed swirling rumors about his political allegiances, dismissing claims that he is secretly working for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Watch This Now.
The revelation, reported by Punch Newspaper on Monday, March 16, 2026, comes amid rising speculation ahead of the 2027 general elections.
Momodu, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), spoke on the television programme Sunday Politics, clarifying his position within opposition politics. He said some critics believe his past association with Atiku Abubakar influences his support for opposition figures, while others suspect he may be acting as an insider for Tinubu due to his closeness with the president.
He firmly rejected these claims, stating that his participation in opposition politics stems from genuine concern for Nigeria and the need to maintain a strong, functional democracy, not personal gain or secret loyalties.
“In fact, some people think I am Tinubu’s spy. If it were because of money, Tinubu has a far bigger war chest than Atiku will ever have,” Momodu said, highlighting that political finances alone do not determine his motives.
He added that a united opposition presenting a joint presidential ticket could pose a serious challenge to the ruling APC in 2027, emphasizing the importance of strategic political collaboration.
