A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Dele Momodu, has said the August 15 Osun State governorship election is not a contest between Governor Ademola Adeleke and the All Progressives Congress, but between the incumbent and President Bola Tinubu. Momodu, who is backing Adeleke despite his membership of the ADC, said he decided to support the incumbent governor as part of his commitment to the coalition of opposition parties.

The ADC chieftain stated this on Wednesday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today. Momodu explained that he joined the ADC because of its plan to unite opposition parties, arguing that his support for Adeleke was consistent with the coalition’s objective.

He said, “When I joined ADC, I joined a party that promoted coalition of opposition parties. So, what I am demonstrating now is that opposition must come together today.
