They May be Working for Tinubu — Dele Momodu reacts to PDP govs rejecting Atiku’s coalition

Dele Momodu, a veteran journalist and politician, has criticised the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum for rejecting the opposition alliance led by its former presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Momodu said that by declining to join the opposition alliance, PDP governors may be supporting President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

Recall that Atiku, former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai, and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi declared the establishment of an opposition alliance.

However, the PDP Governors’ Forum, after its meeting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, stated it would not join the coalition.

Meanwhile, Momodu, while appearing on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Monday evening, said: “Opposition leaders are very determined to work together this time around, the truth of the matter is that Atiku cannot do it alone, Peter Obi cannot do it alone, and Kwankwaso cannot do it alone, and whosoever wants to run.

“They have to find a way to pay the APC back in its own coin. I was one of those who supported APC in 2014 and 2015, they are going to pay them back in their own coin by at least trying to get a chunk of all the parties including APC to come together.

“If our (PDP) governors are saying, ‘Oh, we don’t go into coalitions,’ it means you are probably working for a Tinubu presidency.

“People must learn from history and I’m a good student of political history, the only way Lagos State under Tinubu survived blistering attack from Obasanjo’s government was because they were able to stand alone, a bully only respect a bully.

“But all of us are already behaving like chicken, people panic because of Tinubu, o they are going to use EFCC, they are going to arrest me.

“The thing is that we all like to read about Mandela in South Africa, we all read about the Mau Mau struggle, even in Nigeria, we had the nationalists who struggled for our independence but everybody suddenly feels power can be offered to you on a platter.

“But I can tell you that any governor, senator, or House member who may be tempted to jump ship, may jump into the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.

“That is why some of us are appealing to people that this thing is doable if they agree to work together.”
