A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has slammed the supporters of the former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, for calling their principal best of all candidates in the coalition.
Speaking during an interview on Channels Television, Momodu also faulted the Obidients for insisting that Obi must emerge as the party’s presidential candidate for the 2027 election.
The publisher of Ovation Magazine stated that it is an insult to other leaders of the coalition when Obidients describe their principal as ‘the best’ of ADC leaders.
The former presidential aspirant was reacting to comments by rights activist Aisha Yesufu and economist Prof Pat Utomi, both allies of Obi, who had warned that their support could be withdrawn if Obi is not given the ADC presidential ticket.
According to Yesufu, Obi is the best among the political figures in the ADC and should not play second fiddle to anyone in the coalition, a position earlier echoed by Utomi.
Momodu, while responding, said the narrative coming from sections of the Obidient movement was divisive and dismissive of other prominent figures in the party.
“When I talked about people being rambunctious, I read stories where someone was quoted as saying, “Why will the best of us always be playing second fiddle to the worst of us?
“What determines who is the worst of us,” the publisher of Ovation Magazine asked.
