The Digest:

Media mogul and former Labour Party chieftain Dele Momodu has formally joined the African Democratic Congress in Edo State, declaring his commitment to a collective effort to “rescue, recover, and reset” the nation ahead of the 2027 political season.

Key Points:
  • Chief Dele Momodu officially defected to the ADC in Benin City, Edo State.
  • He stated his move is not for personal ambition but to contribute to national renewal.
  • Momodu emphasized the need to prevent Nigeria from drifting into a one-party state.
  • Former Edo Governor John Odigie-Oyegun welcomed him as a significant addition.
  • Oyegun described Nigeria’s burdens as “unbearable” and called for collective redemption.
  • Momodu is known for his role in pro-democracy activism during military rule.
  • The ADC is positioning itself as a gathering point for “principled minds” ahead of 2027.
In a political climate often defined by defections of convenience, this move is framed as a return to ideological alignment, a step not toward power, but toward a redemption long deferred.
