Lere Olayinka, the Senior Special Assistant on Public
Communication and New Media to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory,
FCT, Nyesom Wike, has lambasted a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party,
PDP, Dele Momodu for criticizing the Minister’s latest remark regarding the
party’s 2027 presidential ticket.
Olayinka said Momodu hates to hear the truth and wants to
keep eating the money of former PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
He maintained that Wike has said the truth about PDP’s 2027
presidential ticket.
In what appears to be a message directed at Atiku, Wike
during his monthly press briefing in Abuja, said PDP will not zone its
presidential ticket to the North.
He said: “PDP cannot give the presidential ticket to the
North (in 2027).”
Displeased by his remarks, Momodu said Wike’s boastfulness
will end, adding that the Minister will be humbled when the time comes.
Posting on Facebook, Momodu wrote: “The PDP cannot send the
presidential ticket to the North in 2027. I’m building the PDP, not tearing it
apart – Wike.
“History has taught the world that Nyesom Wike’s
boastfulness will end and he shall eat the humble pie when the time comes.
“When did he become the Chief Justice of Nigeria that he can
misinterpret our Constitution as he wishes. He said the North will not be
allowed to pick the next Presidential ticket of PDP and that he is fighting for
justice.
“At what point did he discover that Justice or injustice?
“It is surprising that all the respected journalists in the
room could not tell him to stop the HYPOCRISY and ask if he did not want to be
ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR’s Vice Presidential nominee!! That’s the only truth that
haunts and gets him livid with rage.”
Momodu also berated Wike over his comments regarding the
suspended Governor of Rivers State.
He noted: “On FUBARA, did Wike ever allow any soul to
control himself as Governor, including those who helped him to the top? Has he
not rained torrents of insults on all of them?
“Since almost three years when he lost the PDP Presidential
Primary, MR PROJECT has remained inconsolable and my appeal to him is no man
can have his way always. In a Democracy, everyone has the right to contest or
not, based only on the CONSTITUTION of NIGERIA, and not the whimsical decision
of one man, WIKE. Oju lo pe si… Time flies.”
Responding, Olayinka said Momodu considers anybody who tells
Atiku to bury his presidential ambition as his enemy.
Olayinka said: “Babalawo Dele Momodu sha wants to be eating
Atiku’s money. Anyone who tells him the truth that Atiku should bury his
thought of contesting the Presidency again in 2027 is Dele Momodu’s automatic
enemy.
“The millions he collected as Campaign Director of Media in
2023 don sweet Ẹ̀gbọ́n oníkùn gbẹ̀ndu gbẹndu bí ọ̀yà.
“Wike has said the truth that must be said to Atiku.”
