Dele Momodu, a prominent leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has rejected claims that he is opposed to former presidential candidate Peter Obi, insisting he has been a consistent supporter of the ex-Anambra State governor.
His statement came in response to an X user, @Blazeregent, who criticised Momodu over a previous post in which he urged PDP chieftain Bode George to purge himself of anti-Atiku Abubakar sentiments. The user wrote: “Purge yourself anti-OBI first. You have no moral right to criticise matters like this. If you have the right to be perpetual anti-OBI, so is anyone else to be perpetual anti-ATIKU. Daddy wa, please go and rest.”
Momodu clarified that his support for Obi dates back to when the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar selected him as running mate. He also dismissed any notion of tension between Obi and Atiku, highlighting that both politicians have consistently treated each other with mutual respect in public and private.
“I can never be anti-Obi. The first time I supported Obi was when Atiku picked him as running mate,” Momodu said. “I am not aware that they are enemies. They always treat each other with mutual respect in private and public.”
