African Democratic Congress member Dele Momodu has declared that the upcoming Osun State governorship election on August 15 is not a contest between incumbent Governor Ademola Adeleke and the All Progressives Congress (APC), but rather a clash between Adeleke and President Bola Tinubu. Momodu, who remains a member of the ADC despite his support for Adeleke, made this claim during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today.
He explained that his decision to back the incumbent governor aligns with the coalition of opposition parties he joined when he became a member of the ADC. Momodu stated that he consulted party elders before endorsing Adeleke, and considers Adeleke and APC candidate Bola Oyebamiji as the two main contenders in the election. He emphasized that the APC poses no challenge to Adeleke in Osun, and that even the presidency recognizes this fact.
Momodu, who described Adeleke as a close friend and "twin brother," also highlighted that the governor has been "bullied" and "intimidated," urging people from all political parties to support him.
