I have attempted to contest twice, first in 2011 and in 2023; head of an elephant is not child play – Momodu

As the countdown to the 2027 presidential election begins, Dele Momodu, a leading figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), is sending a strong warning to political aspirants: winning Nigeria’s highest office requires serious planning, unity, and strategy.

In a recent interview on Arise News, Momodu made it clear that the ADC does not belong to any single individual. If you’re in nigeria right now, Watch Video Now.

The party’s presidential ticket will not be handed out to anyone based on influence or personal claims—it will go to the candidate who can deliver electoral success.

Drawing on his own political journey, Momodu revealed he has contested the presidency twice, first in 2011 and again in 2023. He used the analogy of an elephant to stress the weight of the ambition:

“I have attempted to contest twice, first in 2011 and in 2023; the head of an elephant is not child’s play.”

The statement underscores the seriousness and preparation required for anyone seeking the presidency. Momodu also urged opposition figures, including Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar, who are reportedly eyeing the ADC platform, to stay united and disciplined, warning that internal divisions could weaken their chances against President Bola Tinubu.

For insiders curious about how the ADC plans to build a credible and competitive platform to challenge the ruling party, the full details are revealing here.

Momodu’s remarks signal that the ADC intends to position itself as a serious contender, with strategy, unity, and preparation at the heart of its 2027 campaign.
