Dele Momodu Rejects Claims Of Anti-Peter Obi Bias, Affirms Continued Support
Dele Momodu, a prominent leader of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has denied claims that he harbours anti-Peter Obi views, insisting that he has always supported the former Anambra governor.
The clarification came on his verified X account, where Momodu responded to a user, @Blazeregent, who accused him of bias against Obi. The criticism followed Momodu’s earlier remark urging Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwart Bode George to purge himself of what he described as anti-Atiku Abubakar sentiments.
The X user wrote: “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.”
In reply, Momodu rejected the allegation, saying his support for Obi dates back to when Atiku selected him as his running mate in a previous presidential election.
“I can never be anti-Obi. The first time I supported Obi was when Atiku picked him as running mate,” he said.
He also dismissed suggestions of any tension between Obi and Atiku, noting that both leaders continue to engage with mutual respect in public and private.
“I’m not aware they are enemies. They always treat each other with mutual respect in private and public,” Momodu added.
The comments come amid heightened political debates within opposition parties as they reposition ahead of upcoming elections.
