Momodu Accuses Tinubu of Favoring Yoruba in INEC Appointments
Dele Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), accused President Bola Tinubu of filling the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) with officials from Yoruba extraction. Speaking on Arise Television’s Prime Time programme, Momodu claimed this was part of a strategy to undermine the credibility of the upcoming 2027 general elections.
He emphasized his connection to Osun State, stating that its residents are highly intelligent and serious about democracy. Momodu noted that while Osun people supported Governor Ademola Adeleke due to his performance, their loyalty has limits, warning that they would not support Tinubu if directed by Adeleke.
He also argued that the South-West is not receiving more benefits from Tinubu's administration than other regions and highlighted that many of Tinubu's appointees are his close allies. Momodu concluded that the Yoruba people are suffering alongside other regions due to the current hardships in the country.
