Momodu spoke on Friday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Sunrise programme.
Dele Momodu, a member of the African Democratic Congress, ADC has claimed former President Goodluck Jonathan will not contest the 2027 presidential election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He spoke on Friday while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Sunrise programme.
He also claimed that Jonathan’s recent interactions with former Anambra State governor, Peter Obi, should not be interpreted as signs of an alliance, noting that politicians often meet for different reasons.
Momodu added that speculation is common in politics, citing public reactions to a recent meeting between Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso and President Bola Tinubu.
He said: “Those who are saying, oh, former president Jonathan will run on the platform of PDP, I doubt, because those who are determined to kill PDP, they are still very much entrenched. Those who are saying, okay, he and former Governor Peter Obi are meeting, it’s normal for politicians to meet. They meet all the time.
“The other day when we saw the picture of the senator Rabiu Kwankwaso with President Bola Tinubu, people said he’s going to dump NNPP and he’s going to APC. People speculate a lot. This is not a time to speculate. This is a time to focus and strategize.
“So all this noise about this will go there, let people go. In a democracy, if you cannot agree on consensus, then let there be primary, let them go to poll and whosoever wins, so be it.”
