Dele Momodu, director of strategic communications for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, has blasted FCT minister Nyesom Wike over his role during the 2023 general election.

In an interview on ChannelsTV on Tuesday, Momodu described Wike as a civilian dictator.

The media mogul said he would have expelled Wike  from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) if he had the power.

Momodu further accused Wike of trying to destroy the PDP.

“I don’t have the power; if I had power I would have fired him (Wike) long ago,” Momodu said.

“Such an unruly person who wants to destroy our party? One individual cannot hold everybody to ransom. If we fought the military, we fought the military in this country. Tinubu was part of those who fought the military in this country, and then you will now allow a civilian dictatorship?”

Recall that ahead of the 2023 elections, Wike and other four then governors that made up the G-5 in the PDP withdrew their support for the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

The  former Rivers state governor supported the eventual winner of the election, Tinubu, who rewarded him with an appointment as FCT Minister.

In a recent interview, Wike said nobody within the PDP could discipline him.

“Who will discipline me? I should be the one calling for the discipline of these people who violated the party’s constitution, in the way that the party supported rotation,” Wike said.
