All is set for the grand declaration of veteran journalist and publisher, Chief Dele Momodu, as he formally joins the coalition party, African Democratic Congress (ADC), in Benin City, the capital of his home state, Edo.
The event, billed to take place at the New ADC State Secretariat, Ogbelaka Road, Benin City, on Thursday, January 15, 2025, is expected to bring together the creme de creme of the ADC family and more.
Speaking exclusively to The Boss, Momodu, who announced his switch to ADC from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) a few months ago following irreconcilable crises that had ravaged the party, said that the coming together of political juggernauts to make up the ADC is the best thing that has happened to the nation in recent times.
“Our coming together is divine, and has paved the way for the restoration of life for Nigerians, towards rescuing everyone from the shackles of oppressive rule in the last 10 years, and counting.
“ADC is a testament of readiness towards taking back what belongs to us as Nigerians,” Momodu said.
A former presidential candidate, former presidential aspirant, teacher, inspirational speaker, actor, media guru and entrepreneur, Dele Momodu is a complete package of astuteness, enigma and ready-to-deliver personality, who has contributed immensely to the growth and development of his motherland.
With the leaders of the party expected to be in attendance, the declaration event will be broadcast alive across major media platforms including Arise News Television.
Momodu is not new to political discipline and maneuver. Recall that the much traveled global citizen contested the presidency in 2011, where he represented the National Conscience Party (NCP), and was a presidential aspirant in 2022 under the umbrella of the PDP.
Momodu’s trajectory in the political terrain dated back to the Second Republic, when he functioned as Private Secretary to Chief Akin Omoboriowo, the then deputy governor of Ondo State. He was also prominent in politics during and after the much talked about June 12, 1993 era. His relevance and intellectual capacity in politics speak volumes, climaxing in the fact that his wealth of experience will be an added advantage to the ADC family.
The event will Kickstart at 11am.
