Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has described Dele Momodu as a ‘boy’, saying he does not even know his name.
Wike spoke on Thursday during a media chat with some select media houses.
Wike said that he does not remember the name of Dele Momodu, one of the most popular journalists in the country.
Wike’s comment about Momodu may not be unconnected to the journalist’s criticism of his political antics.
Momodu, the publisher of Ovation International Magazine, recently claimed that Wike cannot defect to the All Progressives Congress, APC, because he will lose his authority.
In what appears as a response to the claim, Wike said, “There is this boy, they say he is a journalist. What’s his name? He is big.”
When a journalist said “Dele Momodu”.
Wike added, “Okay, I don’t remember all these names. He was never my friend. He ran for president, but he didn’t get one vote.”
