Veteran journalist and politician Dele Momodu has revealed that some members of the opposition believe he is secretly working for President Bola Tinubu.
Momodu, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), made the remark while defending his political position during an interview on Sunday Politics.
According to him, critics who accuse him of supporting opposition figures because of his past alliance with Atiku Abubakar are mistaken.
“It’s ignorant to say I’m talking like this because I supported Atiku in the last election. I’m a million times closer to Tinubu than I am to Atiku,” Momodu said.
He added that his closeness to the president has even led some people within the opposition to suspect him.
“In fact, some people think I am Tinubu’s spy. If it were because of money, Tinubu has a far bigger war chest than Atiku will ever have,” he said.
Momodu insisted that his involvement in opposition politics is driven by genuine concern for Nigeria and the need for a strong democratic system.
“If I’m here, it means I have genuine interest in Nigeria because I believe there must be opposition politics,” he said.
The former presidential aspirant also argued that a united opposition ticket could pose a serious challenge to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 election.
Dele Momodu suggested that a combination involving Atiku and a southern political figure such as Peter Obi or Rotimi Amaechi could weaken Tinubu’s chances.
“I believe if we have a combination of Atiku, maybe with Peter Obi, maybe with Rotimi Amaechi, or any other person from the South, Tinubu will be gone,” Momodu said.
He added that the opposition coalition currently forming within the ADC could reshape the political landscape ahead of the 2027 general election.
