In a recent interview from 55:16 on Nevon HQ, on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, Dele Momodu, an ADC chieftain, reflected on the factors he believes contributed to the outcome of the 2023 presidential election. He argued that political alliances and the backing of influential figures played a significant role in shaping the contest, alongside party structures and campaign resources.
Momodu explained that elections in Nigeria are rarely determined by a single factor. According to him, the support of prominent political leaders, strong party organization, regional influence, and financial capacity often combine to determine the eventual outcome of a presidential race.
Speaking during the interview, Momodu stated, “In the last election, Tinubu had Buhari, Nasir El-Rufai, and Aisha Buhari on his side.” He made the remark while discussing the political environment that surrounded the 2023 general election and the alliances he believes benefited President Bola Tinubu’s campaign.
