Everything Will Be OK, Dele Momodu Tells Niece Sophia Amid Davido Custody Battle

Dele Momodu has reassured his niece, Sophia Momodu, that her custody battle with Davido will be resolved positively. In an Instagram post from Liberia, where he is currently visiting, Momodu revealed he has received messages from fans of both Sophia and Davido. He shared that one of Sophia’s supporters, a fashion designer, encouraged him to intervene and help settle the dispute. Momodu assured Sophia that he is working behind the scenes to ensure everything will be fine. He wrote: “Here in Liberia, @davido is treated as the god of music. I’ve been visiting here for over two decades, but this visit is different. I came to commiserate with my friend and Sister, former Vice President H.E. Dr Jewel Howard-Taylor, on the passing of her only child, Charles Philip Neilsen Taylor Jr. Since landing here, I have been inundated with messages from fans of David, and ladies who love @thesophiamomodu to bits… One of them is this ‘fashion designer’ @lorine.doe who said I should step in and settle the ‘quarrels.’ My dear Sister, thanks so much. Nothing to worry about. Everything is going to be alright. We are working behind the scenes. Please keep everyone in your prayers.” The development comes after reports that Davido lost his temper in court during cross-examination, prompting his lawyer to describe the scene as chaotic. Davido later announced he would drop the case in favor of joint custody, pledging to ensure his daughter knows he fought for her.

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.

Former presidential candidate Dele Momodu has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Momodu made the declaration on Thursday in Benin City, the Edo State capital, while addressing his supporters. He clarified that his decision was not driven by personal ambition, stressing that he is not seeking any elective office in the state. According to him, his move is solely about contributing to the development and wellbeing of the people. “And I came home for the first time and I coordinated everything, then it took me over 50 years, you won’t believe it, of excruciating hard work and meticulous planning to plant a home from my modest income in Iwe,” Momodu said. “So today, nobody can say Dele has no roots in Iwe. Today, I am standing before you, my friends, as I humbly reintegrate myself into the political process of my state.” He dismissed speculations about his political ambition, adding, “People have asked me, what do you want? Do you want to be a governor, a senator? No. I just want to promote the best interests of our people.”

Dele Momodu Slams Oluremi Tinubu Over Public Reprimand of Governor Adeleke

Dele Momodu has slammed First Lady Oluremi Tinubu over her public confrontation with Osun State Governor Ademola Adeleke during a recent ceremony in Ile-Ife. The incident, captured on video, showed Governor Adeleke beginning his speech with a song, a style familiar to his supporters. First Lady Tinubu, who had just been honoured with the title Yeye Asiwaju Gbogbo Ile Oodua, approached the podium and warned the governor to end his performance, threatening to switch off the microphone if he continued singing. Sharing the video on Instagram, Momodu described her actions as “totally beneath her.” He emphasized that, as a non-elected official, she has no constitutional authority to publicly reprimand a sitting governor. He also criticized the religious undertone of her intervention, pointing out that it was surprising for a self-professed pastor to object to a governor praising God. Momodu further questioned whether she would have acted the same way if a Northern governor were reciting the Holy Qur’an, highlighting a potential double standard. While many praised Governor Adeleke’s composure, Momodu placed part of the blame on Nigerians, whom he described as “squeamish” for silently accepting such displays of overreach and disrespect, saying it reflects a failure to defend citizens’ rights.
