Dele Momodu, a well-known journalist and politician, has shared his thoughts on the ongoing crisis in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP). Speaking during an interview with News Central TV from 0.05, Momodu expressed concerns about the role of the current Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, in the turmoil within the party.
According to Momodu, Wike often boasts about being the greatest contributor to the PDP. However, he argued that Wike has also benefitted the most from the party, saying, “Without PDP, Wike would be a nobody.” He pointed out that Wike’s political career has been built entirely within the PDP, from being a local government chairman to serving as chief of staff to Amaechi; to serving as a minister, an eight-year governor, and now the FCT Minister. Despite this, Wike’s actions seem to be causing chaos in the party.
Momodu criticized Wike for seemingly abandoning the PDP while still claiming loyalty to it. He compared this behavior to other politicians, like Atiku Abubakar, who left the party when they were unhappy. “If you’re tired of where you are, just leave,” he said, urging the Minister to fully decide where his loyalty belongs.
Momodu emphasized that he remains committed to the PDP because he believes in hope and persistence, shaped by his background in activism. He also acknowledged that the party needs urgent rescue, adding that he is tired of talking about Wike but finds it impossible to ignore his disruptive role.
