Dele Momodu, the ex-Director of Strategic Communications for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, has stated that if given the chance, he would like to oust Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, from the People’s Democratic Party.
Momodu did not oppose to Wike’s nomination as a minister by President Bola Tinubu of the ruling All Progressives Congress, despite his intention to have Wike expelled from the PDP.
Making this known while appearing on a Channels TV broadcast on Tuesday, the Oviation Magazine publisher described Wike as an unruly politician that is bent on destroying the main opposition party.
“I don’t have the power, if I had the power, I would have fired him (Wike) long ago,” Momodu said.
When questioned about his rationale for wanting to expel Wike from the party, Momodu responded, “Such an unruly person who wants to destroy our party? One individual cannot hold everybody to ransom. If we fought the military, Tinubu was part of those who fought the military in this country, and then, you will now allow a civilian dictatorship?”
PoliticsNow recalls that the former Rivers State governor asserted that he had yet to encounter a party leader who possessed the authority to suspend or expel him from the PDP.
He also claimed to be working for President Bola Tinubu and not the All Progressives Congress Congress.
