Former Labour party presidential candidate Dele Momodu officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Thursday.
The announcement was made in Benin City, Edo State, where Momodu addressed his followers, emphasizing that his move is aimed at promoting the interests of the people rather than seeking political office in the state.
Speaking to the crowd, he said:
“And I came home for the first time and I coordinated everything. Then it took me over 50 years, you won’t believe it, of excruciating hard work and meticulous planning to plant a home from my modest income in Iwe.
So today, nobody can say Dele has no roots in Iwe. Today, I am standing before you, my friends, as I humbly reintegrate myself into the political process of my state.
People have asked me, what do you want? Do you want to be a governor, a senator? No. I just want to promote the best interests of our people.”
Momodu’s declaration marks a significant step in his continued engagement with Edo State politics.
He made it clear that his focus is on community development and people’s welfare, rather than personal political ambition.
