A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Dele Momodu, has said that the August 15 Osun State governorship election is not a contest between Governor Ademola Adeleke and the All Progressives Congress, but between the incumbent and President Bola Tinubu. He recently had his say during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
Revealing that he decided to support the incumbent governor as part of his commitment to the coalition of opposition parties, Momodu revealed that he joined the ADC because of its plan to unite opposition parties.
He concluded by arguing that his support for Adeleke is consistent with the coalition’s objective.
His words, “When I joined ADC, I joined a party that promoted coalition of opposition parties. So, what I am demonstrating now is that opposition must come together today.
The battle in Osun is not a contest between Adeleke and the APC, it is between Adeleke and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
APC is no match for Adeleke in Osun, everybody agrees on that. They can make all the noise and all the hulabaloo, but I can tell you today that even the Presidency knows, and I have a lot of friends in APC, they know they cannot match Ademola Adeleke.
He’s being bullied, he’s being intimidated, and all men and women of good conscience should rise up whether you are in our party or wherever.
Even if I was not in ADC, I would still have supported Ademola. He’s a fantastic soul. Only a wicked man will see the good work he has done in Osun State and ignore it.
But I’m a democrat. If my party says they are not ready to back him, that is fine. On this occasion, they should please loan me to Ademola Adeleke. I’m begging them to do that.”
