Dele Momodu, a Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party has revealed why he left the Labour Party.
Recall that he left Labour Party and moved to the National Conscience Party (NCP) before decamping to All Progressives Congress (APC) and later settling with the PDP.
During an interview on Arise Television, Dele Momodu said:
“There is nothing wrong… Anybody who knows me knows I am a democrat. I believe in freedom of speech, freedom of association and even freedom of movement. So you can move to wherever you like, but you must be able to defend your action,” he said.
I once moved from Labour Party to National Consicence Party. What happened? I was a fledgling presidential candidate. And when I felt a roadblock, I reached a dead end. I had to consult my people, where do we go? Let’s look for a party that is similar in ideology to the one we are leaving. That is why we opted for the National Consicence Party at the time. Then I contested and had about 26,000 votes nationwide,” he disclosed.
Then we learned a lesson that it would be difficult for any fringe political party to win a presidential election. You need platforms, you need so many things to be able to achieve your dream,” he stated.
