Dele Momodu
Lere Olayinka, Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications and Social Media to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, has asserted that Dele Momodu, the Publisher of Ovation Photo Album, will turn his back on former Vice President Atiku Abubakar the moment financial support from him ceases.

In a statement on Wednesday, Olayinka remarked, “Only someone like Dele Momodu, who does not have knowledge of anything apart from his stomach, would claim that it was Wike that drove Peter Obi out of the PDP.”

He reiterated his stance that “Atiku has been the weapon fashioned against the PDP since he frustrated the party’s efforts to win Lagos State in 2003.”

Olayinka expressed disbelief over Momodu’s claims, stating, “It is funny that a supposed journalist could go on national television to lie that Atiku wanted the PDP to cede power to the Southeast in 2023,” questioning why Atiku obtained an Expression of Interest Form to contest for the PDP presidential ticket when the Zoning Committee had not yet reached a decision on the zoning arrangement.

“In his display of arrogance or mischief, Dele Momodu claimed that Atiku wanted the PDP to field a presidential candidate from the eastern part of the country, but he chose not to mention that the same Atiku had obtained an Expression of Interest Form even when no decision had been taken on zoning.”

He further queried, “Also, was it Wike that made it Senator Gbenga Daniel, who was the Director General of Atiku’s campaign, leave the PDP less than two weeks after the 2019 presidential election? Was it Wike that made Atiku’s running mate in the 2023 election, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa, leave the PDP? Former Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel, was the Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign in 2023; his successor, Governor Umo Eno, is on his way out of the PDP.”

Olayinka continued, “The question is, why did everyone who worked closely with Atiku during the 2019 and 2023 elections leave him after the election? The reason can only be because someone is a selfish person who is only about himself alone.”

He also countered Momodu’s assertion that Wike could have benefited from Atiku’s suggestion had he not distanced himself from the Southeast, stating, “obviously forgetting that Wike is a proud Ikwerre man, unlike Dele Momodu who isn’t proud of his Edo origin.”

In concluding his remarks, Olayinka described Dele Momodu as a fairweather friend, stating, “We are hearing all this noise from him because Atiku is paying his bills. Let Atiku stop paying, and Oga Dele Momodu will move to the next victim.”
