Dele Momodu, a presidential hopeful running on the Peoples Democratic Party platform, has disclosed why he rarely visits his hometown of Ihievbe in Edo State’s Owan East Local Government Area.
His father had warned him that he would be assassinated by the town’s witches and wizards, according to the presidential candidate.
This was revealed by Momodu on Tuesday, when he appeared as a guest on Arise TV’s Morning Talk.
At response to an inquiry on why he declared his presidential desire in Ihievbe, Edo State, Momodu said, “My father lived, worked, and died in Ile -Ife. When we asked him why he didn’t take us to Ihevbe, Edo, he said ‘because of witches and wizards’.
“When I told my mother that I was going there, in 2014, my mum wept. She said they will kill me. I said they are my people, if they kill me they can have me, and I went.
“I didn’t suddenly discover my root. If that’s the case, people wouldn’t have welcomed us the way they did. I appreciate the welcoming.
“There is nowhere (Bola) Tinubu or (Yemi) Osinbanjo will enter that I can not sleep. I am also strong in the South-East.”
Momodu declared his presidential ambition in his hometown, Ihevbe, Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State, on Sunday, April 7, claiming that he is the best qualified among those vying to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari.
Momodu, who was greeted by a large audience, stated that while he may not have been a governor, senator, or minister, he has sat with the powerful, and that he is qualified to be the country’s President.
Pa. Rufus Aigbevbole, the traditional head of Ugba Village in the Ihievbe community, also described Dele Momodu as a son with whom they are pleased.
