You boxed yourself into political death: Dele Momodu slams wike
Dele Momodu, a PDP chieftain, has attacked Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike.
He claimed that Wike has put himself in a political bind and that the best he can do is be a mole for the APC.
According to Momodu, Wike supported Gov Fubara in the gubernatorial race solely because he planned to continue as a third-term Governor by proxy, but his intentions fell through.
The PDP chieftain made this known in a post via Instagram on Thursday while reacting to Wike’s media parley with journalists in Abuja.
Wike addressed the speculation of dumping the PDP, stating, “I am a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Have you ever seen me change anything?”
His assertion comes amidst his noticeable absence from PDP meetings and campaign activities, especially in recent off-cycle elections.
However, Wike expressed no regrets over his decisions, emphasizing the importance of moving forward.
In response, Dele Momodu said Wike’s inability to secure the party’s presidential ticket prompted his decision to support Tinubu.
The PDP chieftain faulted those still condoning the excesses of the former Governor in the opposition party.
He wrote, We must continue to debunk these lies…
“1. Nobody went against the Constitution of our party PDP. Wike and his friends manipulated it and threw away the zoning arrangement, hoping to favor him. Wike’s campaign for a Southern Presidency was only about WIKE. He and his cronies had enough resources to block all roads to the South and reserved the Southern ticket exclusively for WIKE. PETER OBI got the message early enough and dumped our party. WIKE hired Chairmen. WIKE fired them. After WIKE lost the primary, he was willing and ready to be picked as Vice Presidential candidate. He only became inconsolable after he lost that slot too. It is his legitimate right to be angry and he retaliated mercilessly by supporting TINUBU, which was also his legitimate decision.
“2. WIKE supported his personal choice of FUBARA for the gubernatorial election only because he hoped to continue as a 3rd term Governor, by proxy. When FUBARA finally found his voice, WIKE sent thunder after him. The Governor is still not sitting comfortably in his office nearly one year after being sworn in, just because of the massive ego of one man WIKE.
“3. What manner of cruel audacity can make a man speak so boldly about being a member of PDP when you’re already working for your idol in APC, and even boasting that nobody can challenge you in 2027? I do not blame WIKE. I blame those who have condoned his excesses, endlessly, in PDP. WIKE is left with only one desperate mission, a total annihilation of PDP, on behalf of one master he knows he cannot challenge, TINUBU. It gladdens my heart that WIKE has boxed himself into a political dead end, by cutting his nose to spite his face. The best he can be is to continue his role as an APC mole because he prefers to reign in hell than to serve in heaven. That is the way the cookie crumbles… Sad.”
