NCP endorses Tinubu ahead of presidential election

By Ikechukwu Okaforadi

Barely 24 before the 2023 general election, the National Conscience Party has endorsed the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

Leaders of the party took the decision after its emergency National Coordinating Council meeting in Abuja. A Communique signed by Adebola Lateef, National Secretary; Pastor Peters Omoragbon, NDC South-South; and Comrade Waheed Lawal, Acting National Chairman was issued at the end of the meeting. The party also denied endorsing the Labour Party, LP, presidential candidate, Peter Obi, stressing that its leadership was not consulted by the former and women empowerment,” he said, noting that Senator Musa has been a formidable voice on national discourse and has also been instrumental to the successful, hitch-free take-off of HYPADEC. chairman of the party, Mallam Tanko Yunusa.

The decision to support the APC candidate is not unconnected to his lobbying capacity to attract projects to the senatorial district and the state, the G-8 said, noting that, if given a second opportunity, Senator Musa will achieve beyond expectations.

He made the claims while fielding questions on Arise Television’s Morning Show programme.

However, when asked by the same medium to react to Utomi’s statement on Tinubu, Momodu said what the professor said made no sense.

Momodu, however, admitted he is not a medical doctor or a psychiatrist to speak on the mental ability or capacity of Tinubu, adding that Nigerians should be the judge.

The veteran journalist said, “I am not a medical doctor, I am not a psychiatrist, so I cannot speak to the mental ability or capacity of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and then also in the mood of the peace accord I am not supposed to have any bad words for anybody today.

“I want to be remembered as one of the few people who ran a professional campaign, so let Nigerians themselves judge whether they think Tinubu is physically fit, mentally ok, let Nigerians be the judge.

“I don’t want anybody to say it is Dele Momodu who said this, who said that. Nigerians have eyes. Nigerians have ears. They can see how unruly these APC characters have been, extremely unruly, abusing their own president.

“As a result, the NCP preferred presidential candidate is Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and we reject Peter Obi as the NCP candidate,” the communique added.

“I saw my big brother Adams Oshiomole climbing the roof of a vehicle in Edo State and abusing Buhari. I had never seen this Fuji house of commotion in politics before, where people, who used to worship the president just because they knew he is on his way out and the man who wanted to take power from him is the one who is leading this rebellion.

“So I am not a doctor, but what they are doing to him doesn’t make sense.”
