LAGOS — Publisher of Ovation Magazine and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Chief Dele Momodu, has urged opposition parties in Osun State to unite and support Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party ahead of the August 16 governorship election.
Momodu said opposition unity was necessary to prevent the All Progressives Congress (APC) from exploiting divisions among its rivals as an excuse to rig the election.
In a statement, the ADC chieftain said he joined the party as part of a broader coalition aimed at challenging what he described as the “APC cankerworm,” which he alleged had negatively affected the nation’s economy, social cohesion, religious tolerance and democratic institutions.
He said the initial plan was for opposition parties to avoid repeating past mistakes and present a formidable alternative to the APC.
