A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has dismissed concerns that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar would use money to unduly influence the party’s presidential primary.
Momodu spoke on Thursday during an interview on Channels
Television’s ‘Morning Brief’ programme.
He was addressing questions about how the party would manage
the presidential ambitions of its top chieftains in 2027.
Momodu clarified that campaign funding should not be
confused with bribery, explaining that money is needed for legitimate campaign
logistics and election day operations.
“It’s not just about money. When we talk about money, there
are logistics. We’re not talking about bribing,” Momodu said.
The ADC chieftain cited the 2024 United States presidential
election as an example, noting that substantial campaign funds do not guarantee
victory.
“Even in America, Kamala Harris outperformed Donald Trump in
terms of raising funds. She had over a billion dollars to spend. She still
didn’t win,” he added.
The publisher of Ovation Magazine also explained the
practical uses of campaign funds, emphasizing election security rather than
delegate inducement.
