A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has dismissed claims that he is opposed to former presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
Momodu said he has consistently supported the former Anambra State governor and denied harbouring any anti-Obi sentiments.
He was reacting to a post on X by user @Blazeregent, who urged him to purge himself of what was described as anti-Obi bias. The comment followed Momodu’s earlier remark advising a Peoples Democratic Party chieftain, Bode George, to purge himself of anti-Atiku 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.”
Responding, Momodu maintained that he had supported Obi in the past, particularly when former Vice President Atiku Abubakar selected him as his running mate in 2019.
“I can never be anti-Obi. The first time I supported Obi was when Atiku picked him as running mate,” Momodu wrote.
He also dismissed suggestions of any rift between Obi and Atiku, stating that both politicians have always treated each other with mutual respect in private and in public.
