Dele Momodu Officially Joins ADC
Veteran journalist, Dele Momodu, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress, months after dumping the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.
The former presidential aspirant declared his ADC membership in Benin City on Thursday.
Momodu put to bed possible questions on where his political ambitions lie by stating that he doesn’t have an interest in becoming a senator or governor in his hometown, Edo State.
“People have asked me, ‘What do you want? Do you want to be governor or senator?’ No,” he said. “I just want to promote the best interests of our people,” he said.
“It is hard to imagine the pride I feel at this moment as I undertake my self-led event in DC to pick up the membership card of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, the new opposition coalition in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous nation. This is only the first and most important leg of this political journey.”
Momodu continued by stating that his mission after joining the ADC is to rescue Nigeria from one-party dominance.
“My mission in politics is to join hands of fellowship with citizens of like minds to rescue, recover, and reset Nigeria. Nigeria must be rescued from a one-party state and one parliament,” Momodu said.
