Dele Momodu Challenges Makinde's Views on Presidential Fitness

Dele Momodu, the Deputy Director-General of Media and Communications for the African Democratic Congress (ADC) Presidential Campaign, articulated that effective presidential leadership is rooted in vision, experience, tolerance, and resource management, rather than physical strength. His comments were made during an appearance on Politics Today on Channels Television on Thursday, in response to Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde's remarks regarding the importance of energy and stamina in presidential candidates ahead of the 2027 general election.

Makinde stated he would evaluate candidates based on their energy levels and ability to handle the demands of the presidency, even demonstrating his point by jumping off a stage and challenging other candidates to do the same. Momodu countered this notion, asserting that the role of a president is not about physical feats but about critical thinking, clear vision, and effective leadership.
