Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has dismissed claims of being opposed to 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Momodu stated that he has consistently supported the former Anambra State governor.
He was reacting to an X user @Blazeregent who charged him to purge himself of anti-Obi sentiments. The X user was reacting to a post in which Momodu asked a PDP chieftain, Bode George, to purge himself of anti-Atiku sentiments.
“Purge yourself anti-OBI first. You have no moral right to criticize 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,” a user wrote.
Reacting, Momodu said he first backed Obi when former Vice President Atiku Abubakar selected him as his running mate.
He also dismissed suggestions of any rift between Obi and Atiku, noting that both politicians have always treated each other with mutual respect, both privately and publicly.
Momodu wrote: “I can never be anti-Obi. The first time I supported Obi when Atiku picked him as running mate.
“I’m not aware they are enemies. They always treat each other with mutual respect in private and public.”
