Notable journalist and publisher of Ovation magazine, Mr. Dele Momodu, has joined the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Momodu contested for the presidential position of the country in 2011 on the platform of the National Conscience Party, NCP, and lost.
Dr. Goodluck Jonathan of the PDP won at the time.
Momodu, in a statement announcing his decision to join the PDP on Friday declared that he was convinced that only the party could save the country from misrule which he said had been perpetrated by the All Progressives Congress, APC.
His words: “I have consulted widely. And it is clear to me that given the dangerous and disastrous drift that our nation has experienced in the past six years, the only party from which amends can be made to rectify our situation is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“This accords with my vehement opposition to the policies and practices of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and its leadership, which has denuded our country of everything we hold dear – national unity, cohesion, security, economic prosperity, educational advancement, social infrastructure, and above all, our cherished moral values.
“For these reasons, I am happy to declare that I am now a full-fledged participating member of the great and patriotic Peoples Democratic Party.”
He added: “It is deeply saddening and regrettable that some of the biggest and landmark achievements recorded under the PDP administration have been diluted, wasted, or diminished by the present APC government.”
