Dele Momodu Dismisses 2027 Running Mate Speculation

Dele Momodu, a prominent political figure, has publicly addressed speculation regarding his involvement as a potential running mate to Atiku Abubakar for the 2027 presidential elections. He clarified that he will not be running for office again but is committed to supporting a coalition of political parties aimed at unseating the current APC government.

Momodu emphasized the importance of collaboration among opposition parties, particularly the African Democratic Congress, which he believes has capable leaders qualified to contest for top political offices. He urged for a focus on building a formidable opposition coalition rather than engaging in personal ambitions or inflammatory rhetoric against political opponents, including President Bola Tinubu.

Momodu reiterated his support for whoever emerges as the candidate from the coalition, indicating his role will be behind the scenes rather than on the ballot, and he aims to help unify the opposition.
