Dele Momodu Critiques Governors Over Political Defections

In an interview on Wednesday, Dele Momodu, a prominent chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), expressed his views on the recent defections of governors to other political parties. He stated that these defections are driven by fear, particularly fear of political and legal pressures.

Momodu emphasized that governors feel compelled to submit to the ruling party's authority, indicating a lack of confidence in their positions. He further described the current political landscape as one where the opposition appears to be gaining ground, thereby putting pressure on the federal government.

Momodu argued that the ruling parties are facing severe internal crises, which contradicts their public claims of unity. His comments reflect a broader concern regarding the stability and integrity of political officeholders in Nigeria amidst changing political dynamics.
