Dele Momodu, a veteran journalist, has made a public declaration about the ownership of the African Democratic Congress, ADC. According to him, neither ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar nor Peter Obi has a claim to the party.

Momodu made this statement during an interview on Arise Television's Morning Show. He emphasized that ADC will decide who gets its presidential ticket in 2027, not any individual. In his words, "ADC will determine who gets the ticket in terms of strategy, it won't be at the dictate of one man or woman."

Momodu expressed concern that some individuals are spreading false information about the party's history. He warned ADC that time is not on its side, especially considering the challenges of contesting elections. Momodu spoke from experience, having attempted to contest twice in the past.

The ADC's internal power struggles are a stark reminder of the party's inability to present a united front. Dele Momodu's words of caution to the party are timely, given the looming 2027 presidential election. The fact that Atiku and Obi are being mentioned as potential presidential candidates for the party raises questions about their influence and control within ADC. Nigerians will be watching to see how ADC navigates these internal dynamics, especially in the face of increasing competition from other political parties.
