Momodu, who is also the publisher of Ovation International Magazine was formally presented with his card of membership by Barrister Femi Falana, the Chairman of NCP at the Ikeja office of the organization. While addressing the press, Falana said it is a great homecoming for a progressive whom he knew at the university of Ife campus about 30 years ago. He noted that people should look beyond political parties, they should think about the individual and the capability to run the office.

Momodu on his part said he is more than ready to contest for The office, noting that the era of primitive politics is over people should vote for those who can do it rather than taking pat in money politics.
