Veteran Nigerian journalist, 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).
Naija News reports that Momodu made this known while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Monday.
He stated that Atiku is his best choice among the presidential aspirants in the ADC, and he expects all ‘obidients’, supporters of Labour Party (LP) 2023 presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to support the former Vice President.
According to Momodu, 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.
He said, “My best choice is Atiku, and that is what I expect Obidient to say, which I expect those who support Amaechi to say, there’s nothing wrong with that. And 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 sould 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 and since he is supporting Asiwaju, he is no longer available.”
