Former presidential candidate, Dele Momodu, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), declaring his renewed commitment to the people of Edo State.
Momodu made the announcement on Thursday in Benin City, the state capital, while addressing his supporters. He emphasized that his involvement in politics is driven by a desire to promote the welfare of the people, not to pursue any political office.
Reflecting on his personal journey, Momodu said, “I came home for the first time and coordinated everything. It took me over 50 years of excruciating hard work and meticulous planning to plant a home from my modest income in Iwe. Today, nobody can say Dele has no roots in Iwe. I stand before you, my friends, as I humbly reintegrate myself into the political process of my state.”
He added, “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 move marks a significant step in his continued engagement with Edo politics, signaling a focus on grassroots development and community advocacy.
