...Insists Atiku, Obi don’t own the party By Olayinka Ajayi Former presidential candidate and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Dele Momodu, has cautioned the party against underestimating the challenge of unseating President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 presidential election. Momodu, who spoke during an interview on The Morning Show on Arise Television, said the task ahead requires careful planning and strategy, noting that time is a critical factor for the party. He also stressed that no individual has ownership of the ADC, including former Vice Presidents Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi. According to him, the party’s presidential candidate will emerge through its internal processes. “On the issue of ADC, I believe no one in our party, including Atiku, Obi, or others, can claim to own the party,” he said. “ADC will determine who gets the ticket. In terms of strategy, it won’t be at the dictate of one man or woman.” Momodu further advised the party to remain focused and organised in its preparations ahead of the election. “My advice to ADC is that time is not on our side. I have attempted to contest twice, and I understand that the process requires serious effort and planning,” he added.
