The publisher of Ovation International, Dele Momodu, has claimed “everyone is afraid” of former vice president Atiku Abubakar.
Momodu was explaining why he decided to leave the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for the African Democratic Congress, ADC.
He also admitted he would be supporting Atiku ahead of the 2027 presidential elections.
Speaking on Channels TV on Thursday, Momodu insisted his support for Atiku is based on a strategic understanding of Nigeria’s political reality.
He said: “Everybody is afraid of Atiku, and that is exactly why I, Dele Momodu, support him.
“The fear the ruling party has for him shows he remains the most formidable opposition figure today.
“When everyone is trying to discredit or silence a man, it means he’s the one they truly fear.”
Momodu in the past contested for the presidency in 2011 and participated in the PDP primaries in 2022.
