Chieftain of the African Democratic Congress and publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, has urged opposition parties in Osun State to unite behind 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 from exploiting divisions among its rivals to rig the election.
In a statement on X on Tuesday, 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 accused of negatively affecting Nigeria’s economy, social cohesion, religious tolerance and democratic institutions.
He said the opposition had initially planned to avoid the mistakes of previous elections by presenting a formidable alternative to the APC.
