In a recent interview aired by the Channels Television on June 1, 2026, a chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, Dele Momodu, continued his remarks on the political character of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar amid ongoing national political debates. Momodu spoke while addressing questions on Atiku’s personality, leadership style, and public perception within Nigeria’s political space ahead of the 2027 general elections.
He maintained that Atiku has consistently demonstrated restraint and maturity in public life despite years of political competition, criticism, and electoral contests. "Anybody who knows Atiku knows he is a perfect gentleman who does not engage in unnecessary conflicts," Momodu used the statement to emphasize what he described as Atiku Abubakar’s calm and diplomatic approach to political disagreements over the years.
He argued that Atiku’s conduct in public affairs reflects a preference for dialogue and strategic engagement rather than confrontation or inflammatory exchanges with opponents. According to him, this disposition has contributed to Atiku’s long-standing presence in national politics, allowing him to remain relevant across different political eras and administrations.
Momodu further suggested that leadership assessment should include temperament, discipline, and ability to manage political pressure without escalating tensions. He added that Atiku’s political journey reflects consistency and restraint, qualities he believes are essential for national leadership in a diverse country like Nigeria.
He concluded by urging political actors and observers to focus on issues-based evaluation rather than personal attacks or divisive interpretations of political behavior.
