Odion Kennedy, at the party\u2019s secretariat in Benin City.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking at the event, Momodu recounted his personal journey and connection to Edo State.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI was born in Ile-Ife, Osun State, and it took me 30 years to trace my Edo roots because my father passed away early. Visiting my hometown, Ihievbe community in Owan East Local Government Area, has been a life-changing experience, and I have since built a house there,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Explaining his decision to join the ADC, Momodu stated: \u201cI am here to support like-minded individuals in rescuing our country from a one-party state and one-man system. This is bigger than any personal ambition.\u201d<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also expressed gratitude to Senator Yisa Braimoh for making his visit to Ihievbe memorable. \u201cSenator Braimoh has adopted me as a son, and I am thankful for his guidance and support,\u201d Momodu said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Senator Braimoh, a native of Ihievbe, praised Momodu\u2019s accomplishments and described his entry into the ADC in glowing terms. \u201cDele Momodu is a juggernaut who has made a name for himself as a publisher, teacher, and writer. His joining ADC is like a hippopotamus entering a river; it will shake the scene,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his remarks, Hon. Odion Kennedy acknowledged the challenges ahead but expressed confidence in the party\u2019s prospects. \u201cWe are not under any illusion that the 2027 journey will be tough and rough. But with politicians in the mould of Dele Momodu joining our coalition, the prospects for ADC in the next general election remain bright,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ceremony was attended by prominent national leaders of the ADC, including Chief Odigie Oyegun, Senator Yisa Braimoh, and Senator Roland Owie, underscoring the significance of Momodu\u2019s entry into the party and its determination to make a strong impact ahead of the 2027 general elections.<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Oscar Okhifo, Former Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant, Chief Dele Momodu, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC), declaring that he will not seek any elective office&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":125028,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-125027","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
