Bashorun Dele Momodu emerged presidential candidate of the National Conscience Party (NCP) after a keenly contested primaries at the party's National Convention today Wednesday 12 January, 2011 in Lagos. Dele Momodu polled 169 votes to clinch the ticket ahead of co-aspirants Chief Martin Onovo and Atei Beredugo with 8 and 14 votes respectively.
Speaking shortly after accepting his nomination, Bashorun Dele Momodu said that the biggest task ahead of Nigerians is a total rejection of the People's Democratic Party (PDP); a party that has been in power for twelve years without achieving anything meaningful for the people of Nigeria. He admonished Nigerians to make it a critical part of their daily prayer points. According to him, "the end of PDP has come."
He also bemoaned the dearth of competent leaders in the country today noting that a Dele Momodu presidency would turn around the fortunes of Nigerians as the NCP is on a mission to abolish the poverty of the people and the poverty of ideas which has brought our nation to its knees. When asked if he would join forces with any other presidential candidate against the PDP in the forthcoming election, the NCP presidential flag-bearer noted that the greatest alliance Nigeria needs now is the alliance of the people against the PDP behemoth.
Bashorun Dele Momodu attributed a large part of his preparation for the presidential race to the mentorship of Chief MKO Abiola and Chief Ganiyu Oyesola Fawehinmi, SAN
