Ovation Publisher and politician, Dele Momodu has given reasons why he decided to ditch the camp of President Tinubu, his old time associate and become his virulent critic.
Momodu was a presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) prior to the 2023 polls. He later supported the eventual candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar in the general election even as he threw missiles to President Tinubu.
He had written an article in 2019 praising Tinubu, stating why he’s eminently qualified to be President but recent statements from the Ovation Guru appears to be at variance with his past position.
He has now stated why he changed his mind.
Read him:
“I did not bow to pressure from anyone.
1. I never knew Tinubu had not cleared all the existing mess from the past. His lackadaisical attitude of invincibility is finally catching up.
2. I did not know he planned to continue at the national level the dictatorial template that has kept his fingers on the jugular of Lagos for 24 years.
3. Tinubu kept absolutely quiet on the Buhari government as it vandalised Nigeria. Now we are paying dearly for it.
4. After YAR’ADUA’s and BUHARI’S ill-health, Tinubu’s was also getting very poor.
5. It is now very obvious that Tinubu’s government will be far worse than Buhari’s with the reckless and over-bloated appointments.
6. He carries too much baggage that can easily collapse Nigeria at home and abroad.
“With the much in public domain at this time, I can’t in good conscience recommend or defend Tinubu”, he said.
