A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has denied claims that he discouraged supporters from backing former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, who recently defected to the ADC.
The clarification followed a post by an X user, @judeski007, who said he had been supporting the ADC coalition but expressed concerns about projecting an 80-year-old candidate.
“I have been rooting for the ADC coalition and rightly so, however, note that we cannot be projecting an 80-year-old man as a candidate unless it’s for your own future personal gains. I will definitely root for Tinubu should Atiku emerge,” the user wrote.
Reacting to the comment, Dele Momodu, in a post on his official X handle on Sunday, said he never asked anyone not to support Peter Obi.
“There is nowhere I told you not to root for OBI. He’s not my enemy. But it is my right to state the facts and historical evidence that are available to me. My choice is also mine. We do not have to trade insults. In this game of numbers, every participant is important,” Momodu stated.
