Dele Momodu Joins 2023 presidential race
The publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu has also declared his interest to run for president in 2023 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
His declaration is coming days after former Lagos Governor Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu; Ebonyi Governor Dave Umahi and Senator Orji Kalu indicated interest to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Momodu was the presidential candidate of the National Conscience Party (NCP) in the 2011 presidential election.
Momodu indicated his interest while handing a “letter of interest” to the PDP National Chairman Senator Iyorchia Ayu.
He said he was better prepared to run, adding that he won’t be intimidated by anyone.
During the press briefing monitored by The Nation, he said: “After due consultations with my family, friends and some stakeholders, I have arrived at the decision to contest the 2023 presidential election on the platform of our great party, PDP, if selected as the party’s candidate.
“I’m better prepared now than at the time of my first foray into the fray in 2011, and I am fully ready and certainly capable for the onerous tasks and responsibilities ahead.
“I wish to place on record my firm promise and commitment not to be harassed, bullied or intimidated by anyone who feels he or she can buy the whole of Nigeria with loads of cash fraudulently and illegally filched and taken from the Nigerian people.”
