Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has thrown a challenge at President Bola Tinubu, promising to carry him on his head if he takes bold steps to address the country’s economic woes.
Momodu made this statement on his X handle on Friday while criticizing Doyin Okupe, former spokesman to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, for supporting Tinubu’s government.
Momodu expressed disappointment at Okupe’s defense of the government, stating that Nigeria has never been in a worse state. He accused Okupe of flip-flopping and using sophistry to defend successive governments since 1999, without any tangible benefits to the country.
Momodu outlined specific conditions for him to praise Tinubu, including reducing reckless spending, making sacrifices, driving agricultural revolution, and empowering youths with vocational grants instead of cash handouts to politicians. He doubts the government’s success with advisers like Okupe.
The full post reads: “My dear Egbon, DR DOYIN OKUPE, I’m more amazed at your flip-flops Sir… I will personally carry TINUBU on my head if he’s able to cut the reckless spending of his government, make palpable sacrifices, ignite an agricultural revolution, empower our brilliant and energetic youths with vocational grants instead of distributing cash to phantom politicians, etc… But with advisers like you, no government can succeed.”
