According to a video posted on YouTube by Morayo Afolabi Brown Show on Friday, May 15, 2026, Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation Magazine and a prominent chieftain of African Democratic Congress (ADC), has revealed that he counselled former Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, to exercise patience following his recent departure from the African Democratic Congress (ADC).
