Ovation publisher Dele Momodu says his decision to run for president is to change Nigeria’s narrative and achieve growth, progress, and development.

Mr Momodu stated this on Monday, during a consultation visit to the residence of Olubadan-designate, Oba Lekan Balogun, at the Alarere area in Ibadan.

The publisher, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he made similar attempts 11 years ago on the National Conscience Party (NCP)’s platform, but “this time around, I will contest under (sic) PDP to actualise my dream.”

According to him, Nigerians have complained about the myriad of problems confronting the country over the years.

“But solution to those problems cannot come through the same set of people that have remained in the corridors of power,” he said.

The politician described the Olubadan-designate as a Nigerian deep and versed in the knowledge of either politics or administration.

He presented three volumes of the book, ‘The untold story of Dele Momodu’s Presidential Campaign’, which, according to him, encapsulate his policies to the Olubadan designate.

Hamidu Ajibade, who responded on behalf of Mr Balogun, noted that Mr Momodu had used his profession through the publication of Ovation Magazine to project and advance the cause of Nigeria and Nigerians positively.

He prayed that his efforts of the past years would go a very long way to assist his aspiration.
