A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Aare Dele Momodu, yesterday declared his presidential ambition at his Ihevbe hometown in Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State.
Momodu said he remained the most qualified among the politicians currently aspiring to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.
The Ovation Magazine publisher was received by hundreds of Ihevbe residents.
He said his presidential ambition was derived from the fact that he had never been a governor, senator, minister or President but had sat on the same table with eminent personalities across the globe.
“All I want to be is President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Today is a day to say it finally before my people. Anybody who thinks that he is more qualified than me should come out and say so,” Momodu said.
He said his homecoming took place 49 years after he lost his father, promising that his entry into politics was mainly to serve the people and change the narrative as far as deliverables were concerned.
A former representative of Edo North Senatorial District, Yisa Braimah, described Momodu as the best choice to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
The traditional head of Ugba village in Ihievbe community, Pa. Rufus Aigbevbole, also described the presidential aspirant as a son in whom the people were well pleased.
