Dele Momodu, on Sunday, declared his presidential ambition in his hometown, Ihevbe, Owan East Local Government Area of Edo State, noting that he remains the most qualified among those aspiring to take over from the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
Momodu, who was received by a large crowd, said that he might not have been a governor, senator, minister but he has sat with the high and mighty, adding that he’s qualified to become the President of the country.
He said, “For long, I have been interacting with presidents, ministers, governors because I know that one day, I will be president.”
He, therefore, challenged whoever has a better credential than him to come out and present it.
