Publisher of Ovation magazine, Dele Momodu, has recounted his encounter with Sen. Oluremi Tinubu, wife of the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, at the funeral of APC chieftain, Kemi Nelson, in Lagos.
Why affirming his love for his friends in the APC, the former presidential aspirant, in a terse statement on his verified Instagram page, noted: “Before some people add salt and pepper to it, I need to state precisely what happened. Sen. Tokunbo Abiru, Dr. Tunji Olowolafe and I had walked in about the same time and we went to greet my dear sister, Sen. Remi Tinubu. Immediately she saw me, we exchanged our usual pleasantries and then she asked me, ‘So Bob Dee, you’re not going to campaign for my husband?’ I smiled and remained very calm before replying: ‘Your Excellency, I’m in PDP.’ She apparently didn’t find it funny and regaled us with the past I shared with her husband and I tried to calm her down.
Anyway, I went back to my seat, pondered on what just happened and soliloquised.”
He added: “I joined PDP in order to sack APC from power. To do this, I needed a strong opposition party. I had preached to my younger friends that only a mainstream party like the PDP could achieve this in 2023. This remains my conviction. I practise what I preach. Those who disagree are in other parties; I respect their opinions and wish them well. I’m in PDP.
Professing his love for Bola Tinubu and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, Momodu added: “We’ve truly come way back. I love Chibuike Amaechi and all my APC friends. But the APC has done too much damage to Nigeria. I choose to place Nigeria above friendship. I will try my best to support and encourage our PDP candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to do the right things in our party and to rescue our country from the vestiges of oppression, religious intolerance, poverty, terrorism, infrastructure decay, economic woes and unemployment.
God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
