Tinubu will do anything to silence opposition, says Dele Momodu

By Seyi Babalola

Dele Momodu, a member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), has claimed that President Bola Tinubu is hostile to opposition.

Momodu has stated that Tinubu will go to any length to eliminate opposition in Nigeria.

Reacting on his X page, the former presidential candidate has urged Nigerians to unite beyond political parties to fight back.

He noted that Tinubu was responsible for some of the crisis witnessed within some opposition political parties.

Momodu wrote: “I do not understand the logic behind this conversation: the only reason Wike could not be suspended or expelled from PDP is his stranglehold on the Judiciary and President Tinubu.

“Obi left PDP before the Presidential Primary. How can any serious commentator blame Atiku for the problems of PDP.

“PDP chose to throw its Primary wide open, a decision that was controlled by Wike’s group, and Wike lost, how was that Atiku’s fault again.

“Wike lobbied to be Atiku’s running mate and lost out, and later chose to support Tinubu; how’s that Atiku’s fault.

“Was there a guarantee that either Atiku or Obi or Wike would have defeated Tinubu on PDP platform.

“The Constitution of Nigeria supremely allows everyone to pursue his/her own dreams, legitimately, so what’s this obsession with trying to suppress Atiku who has never stopped others from pursuing theirs.

“Was it Atiku that scattered the Labor and NNPP Parties. Why are people pretending not to know that Nigeria is under a tyrannical government with access to unprecedented war chest and appurtenances of power.

“It should be obvious by now that Tinubu does not want any opposition and he will do anything and everything to exterminate and obliterate opposition, if Nigerians do not unite beyond parties to fight back.”
