During an interview on Arise Television, Dele Momodu said;

There is nothing wrong… Anybody who knows me knows I am a democrat. I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of association and even freedom of movement. So you can move to wherever you like, but you must be able to defend your action,” he said.

The political figure disclosed that when he was in the Labour Party as a member, his presidential ambition came to a dead end forcing him to leave the party upon further discussions with his political family.

once moved from Labour Party to National Consicence Party. What happened? I was a fledgling presidential candidate. And when I felt a roadblock, I reached a dead end. I had to consult my people, where do we go?  Let’s look for a party that is similar in ideology to the one we are leaving. That is why we opted for the National Consicence Party at the time. Then I contested and had about 26,000 votes nationwide,” he disclosed.

Then we learned a lesson that it would be difficult for any fringe political party to win a presidential election. You need platforms, you need so many things to be able to achieve your dream,” he stated.

We then isolated two main political parties in Nigeria. At the time that Buhari came, we all supported Buhari in 2014.

 

“Then I decided APC was going in the wrong direction. So the only option I had to actualize my dream was PDP, that is why I joined  PDP,” he added.
