Founder and publisher of the Ovation Magazine, Chief Dele Momodu has finally pitched his tent with the African Democratic Congress (ADC) with the assurance of teeming up the like-minds in the party to free the country from economic hardship staring the citizens in the face.
He disclosed this in Benin while decamping to the party.
Momodu said that he has not come to join the party to contest for any political positions but to help right the wrongs in the country.
“Today, I am standing before my leaders as I humbly reintegrate myself into the beautiful process of my state.
“People have asked me if I want to be the governor or a Senator, but I tell them that I just want to promote the interest of our people
“My picking up the party card today is just the beginning of the journey and my mission is to join hands of fellowship with citizens of like minds to rescue, recover and reset Nigeria.
“Nigeria must be rescued from one party state and this journey must require the total commitment of majority of Nigerians who refused to be enslaved in their own Country”, Momodu said.
Earlier, former governor of Edo State, and prominent leader of the African Democratic Party (ADC) Chief John Odigie Oyegun said that the nation Nigeria has been under severe burden since independence.
He said that the burden was getting too hard and that everyone must work together to redeem it from the needless burden adding that it needed principled minds like Chief Dele Momodu to make the difference.
“Today is unique in the history of the African Democratic Party because it marks a significant milestone in the party’s quest to reposition the country Nigeria.
“Dele Momodu was part of the individuals in Nigeria who played a significant role in keeping the military out of Nigeria politics.
” We are sitting side by side in another existential struggle because the life of this country is going to depend on everyone of us sitting down here today.
“It is not a campaign yet but we are warming up and gathering friends, we are gathering men of integrity, principled minds like Dele Momodu.
“He is not one of those politicians and for him to be joining us means so much for us as a party.
“As a media man, he policed politics and politicians but today he has decided to join us and I want to say that these are the kind of people this country needs.
” The people of this Country have carried a burden since independence and the burden is getting too hard and we must all work together to redeem the country from needless burden”, Oyegun said.
