Dele Momodu, a former presidential candidate for the Labour Party, formally joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC) on Thursday.

Momodu made the declaration in Benin City, Edo State, where he spoke to his supporters and emphasised that his goal is to advance the interests of the populace rather than run for state political office.

Speaking to the crowd, read what he said below:

“And I came home for the first time and I coordinated everything. Then it took me over 50 years, you won’t believe it, of excruciating hard work and meticulous planning to plant a home from my modest income in Iwe.

So today, nobody can say Dele has no roots in Iwe. Today, I am standing before you, my friends, as I humbly reintegrate myself into the political process of my state.

People have asked me, what do you want? Do you want to be a governor, a senator? No. I just want to promote the best interests of our people.”

Momodu’s announcement is a major development in his ongoing involvement in Edo State politics.

He made it apparent that his priorities are people’s welfare and community development rather than his own political aspirations.
