Chief Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine and a chieftain of Nigeria’s African Democratic Congress, calls for opposition parties in Osun State to unite ahead of the August 16 governorship election. He says the goal is to prevent the All Progressives Congress (APC) from gaining an advantage through divisions within the opposition.
Across the two reports, Momodu frames his appeal around the need for a coordinated front against the APC, warning that fragmented opposition ranks could be exploited during the election. He argues that opposition groups should set aside personal ambitions and act in the collective interest. Both outlets also say he recommends that opposition parties rally behind Governor Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, describing Adeleke as best positioned to challenge the APC. Momodu characterizes the APC’s role in Nigeria as harmful to institutions and social cohesion, and he urges parties to avoid repeating “past mistakes” by not running competing strategies.
The coverage focuses on Momodu’s political guidance rather than reporting new election events or official policy changes.
