He accused Wike of acting as if he’s the founding father of Nigeria.
Publisher and politician, Chief Dele Momodu has lashed out at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
He accused Wike of acting as if he’s the founding father of Nigeria.
He also lashed out at Wike for causing controversy within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) because he wants to determine the party’s 2027 presidential ticket’s zoning and ensure his will prevails.
“It sounds ridiculous that one man, who should be busy in Abuja, is dictating where the PDP presidential ticket should go in 2027. What Wike is doing is a rehash of what he did in Rivers State—and he is clearly doing so with the backing of those at the top.
“Where was Wike during the June 12 struggle? Who knew him then? But today, he speaks as if he’s the founding father of Nigeria,” Momodu said during a Channels Television interview on Wednesday.
Momodu also accused the FCT Minister of attempting to hold on to power in Rivers State, thereby causing a political crisis in the oil-rich state.
“A major crisis of monumental dimension was orchestrated and aggravated by one man. Just because he wouldn’t go away quietly, a state of emergency had to be declared. It’s unprecedented in Nigeria’s history,” he noted.
Momodu further alleged that Wike is staging a coup against the PDP with his actions and causing division within the party.
“What he’s doing now is tantamount to staging a coup against the party that made him everything he is today. He does not have the moral right to dictate the direction of the PDP,” the publisher stated.
