Presidential aspirant, Dele Momodu, has said he will not dump the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, if denied presidential ticket to run in 2023.

“If I don’t get the presidential ticket in PDP, I’ll support whoever the party decides. But I’m convinced I’ll get it, but the decision belongs to the party.”
Momodu stated that since he public declared to run, he has received massive support from party members across states.
“I was at our national party headquarters and the excitement was overwhelming for me.
“The excitement from everybody I’ve met from Anambra, Ebonyi and different states after declaring my intention to run is incredible and I’ve not seen anything like it since 1993,” he said.
