"Adeleke Isn’t Fubara," --- Dele Momodu Lashes Wike Over Claims He Could Have Helped APC Win Osun State For Tinubu
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, has slammed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, for claiming he could have won Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State, for the All Progressives Congress, APC, if President Bola Tinubu had allowed him.
A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, has slammed the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, and immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, for claiming he could have won Saturday’s governorship election in Osun State, for the All Progressives Congress, APC, if President Bola Tinubu had allowed him.
The election was won by Governor
Ademola Adeleke of the Accord Party, who defeated Bola Oyebamiji, of the APC and Najeem Salaam, the African Democratic Congress, ADC in the keenly contested August 15 election.
Governor Adeleke won in 19 LGAs, while Oyebamiji, of the APC candidate, won the remaining 11.
However, commenting on the election Tuesday, while inspecting flood-prone areas in Maitama, Abuja, Wike said he would have helped President Tinubu win Osun for the APC had the president wanted victory for the party “at all costs.”
Wike, who remains a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, but works for the APC, said Tinubu deliberately allowed the election to run without interference by the Federal Government.
But reacting to Wike's claims also on Tuesday, Momodu faulted the minister’s comment, asking him to playing God.
According to Momodu, Adeleke was not like the Governor of Rivers, Siminalayi Fubara, who is widely regarded as a political godson of the minister.
“OSUN people would have demystified you mercilessly. Adeleke is not Fubara!! My kobo advice, stop equating yourself to GOD,” Momodu noted.
