A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has pledged to support anybody who emerges as the party’s presidential candidate in 2027.
Momodu vowed to work with either former Vice President
Atiku, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, or Aminu Tambuwal if any of them emerges as the
party’s flag bearer.
The veteran journalist disclosed this during an interview on
News Central’s programme, Politics HQ, last night.
He said: “I’m very close to every one of them. Peter Obi has
been to my house in Lagos, London, and Accra. I have also been to his house in
Lagos. I know him very well, and he knows me very well.
“We have mutual respect for each other, but I’m telling you
that it’s not about who I want; my allegiance is to the party. If today, ADC
decided to pick Peter Obi, I will support him with everything I have.
“If it’s Tambuwal, Amaechi, I will support them, and if it’s
Atiku, it’s even sweeter because already I have been with him.
“I feel bad when I hear people talk badly of Atiku. Don’t forget that Atiku and Obi worked together in 2019; it was Atiku who first gave
Obi that national platform to come out as a running mate, and they did well
despite not winning.
“So they are not enemies, they are interacting all the time
and everybody knows that Atiku is a perfect gentleman and a consummate
Democrat who does not bear grudges against anyone.”
