ADC Coalition: Obidients free to support Obi, I have right to back Atiku  —  Momodu

The publisher of Ovation magazine, Chief Dele Momodu, has reiterated his support for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to emerge as the presidential candidate of the opposition coalition on the platform of the African Democratic Congress, ADC.

He said his support for Atiku does not stop Obidients from expressing their support for their principal.

Momodu justified his support for Atiku, saying the former VP is his best choice among the presidential aspirants in the ADC.

Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Monday, Momodu said the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, wants a southerner to emerge as the ADC candidate because the party and its leaders are afraid of Atiku.

“My best choice is Atiku. And that is what I expect Obidients to say, which I expect those who support Amaechi to say.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. This game is a game of numbers, and the people who are most aggrieved today are in the northern part of Nigeria.

“If you listen to Wike very well, they’ve all been campaigning that the next president should still come from the southern Nigeria. But they know very well that there’s no southerner today.

“The only one who could have attempted it is Wike. But since he is supporting Asiwaju, he is no longer available. The moment they started pushing campaigns of calumny against Atiku, you must know that they feel threatened by Atiku.”

The ADC chieftain proffered that aspirants should test their popularity in the party’s primary.

“I have never asked anyone not to support Obi. Obi is my very good friend. If you asked me about one of the people who should lead the coalition, I would say it should be Obi. As a democrat, I am appealing to them, hoping they will be able to do it democratically so that they will not say they were forced upon them.

“Let them all go to the field. Let all Obidients campaign for Obi, let those Atikulates campaign for Atiku and let the Amaechis campaign for Amaechi. That is my belief.”

Momodu reiterated that Atiku is a good example of what a leader should be in Nigeria.

Atiku for president
Sorry to ask
Watin atiku forget for aso rock mak he no carry comot
Former VP say him won be president
Same old people
North no get any candidate if no be atiku

That’s how it should be but they used to politics of hate.

Once you don’t share same political grounds with them, they see you as an enemy.

The more reason my unwavering support for His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR) keeps waxing stronger.

Are all these arrangements for the Nigerian masses?

Delegates are already positioning themselves for Atiku's 50k USD per vote in the next primary election while Obidients are busy cursing and mocking everybody on social media because of the new coalition.

Na here we go dey when their packaged messiah will get less than 50 votes in ADC's primary election. 😂

Dele Momodu’s position here is fair and frankly, democratic. He’s standing by Atiku, just as Obidients stand by Peter Obi and that’s the point: in a real coalition, everyone has the right to support their preferred candidate. The key is letting the process be transparent and competitive, not predetermined or divisive. Momodu’s call for a proper primary is what every coalition needs to earn legitimacy. The tension is expected, but it’s the outcome of open, fair competition that will decide if this coalition stands a chance in 2027 or falls apart under the weight of its own internal politics.

They understand the politics there na so don't be surprised when the my said this

You are not free o

You must support their person or become persona non grata

Fight go soon start. Who steps down for who as the gladiators hustle for ADC's sole ticket.

Yes it's a free world 🤗

Support your own failures while we support our own successes

The worst people are those who claim to be your friends in front of you but still stab you in the back once you make a slight turn

Clear indication that AAA is there for what he wants... The of office, the power & just for the selfish interest.

Dele momodu you are supporting ATIKU just because of what you will get, all of you in that coalition are unserious people

Atiku has the right to support Obi.

Atiku go shock you when he steps down for Obi.

it seems they want to destroy the party like they did in PDP, only for their selfish reasons.

We all have the freedom to support whoever we want. The problem is, when the consequences come, it's only the poor masses that suffer.

[color=#1986BC] Its a no brainer, Atiku on ticket with Obi as back up should suffice to retire Tinubu for good...[/color]

I watched this interview on Channels TV and kept smiling because if Wike would be invited to reply Mr Dele, his response would be BRUTAL 😀😀

Hungry man. He is one of Tinubu moles and should be exposed and shamed

The heading of this article should not be construed mischievously, I watched the programme like many other people and what he just summarised is the freedom of association.

I am very sure in the deepest prayers of the APC supporters is the total division of the ADC which is at its teething stage of consensus.

God Almighty will not answer that prayer IJMN.

Dele Momodu anywhere belle face since 1992. and the belle big!

Kwankwanso should shift to PDP. Atiku may be selected for ADP. It that happens that will make the election interesting while Obi and all his obidients will all be sitting on the fence.

Is anybody begging Dele to support obi?

Mr seun abeg stop this 40 character thing abeg.... Is annoying.

Fair take, if you ask me.

So we are headed to the Primaries then, hopefully they have a candidate through a fair, free, transparent and democratic process.

Wish them all well.

2027 will be a real interesting one as many political gladiators are already speaking up.

Oga sit down, Atiku's time has passed

11 charecters remaining

How will an ordinary Hausa man vote for a Igbo man as president when they are still passing through the pains inflicted on the nation by a Yoruba(Southern) president.

Don't be surprised that if El-rufai is selected, he will win. But I support Atiku.

Obi can never win d North and South West.

Dele Momodu and Atiku are working for continuation of APC after 2027.
Atiku and Momodu are expected to understand that zoning of the presidency between the north and the south sustain Nigeria.
Therefore, since Tinubu government is not getting it right, another president from the south needs to take over from Tinubu.

This so-called coalition is just a platform to push Atiku’s presidential ambition, with Obi reduced to a pawn in the game. But as usual, the wailers and sore losers prefer comforting lies over harsh truths, celebrating imaginary victories. Atiku and Obi are stuck — whether they run together or apart, they’re heading straight for another defeat. Same script, same ending .
Asiwaju till 2031!
