Bashorun Dele Momodu, Ovation International Chairman, accomplished journalist and the Director of Strategic Communications of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council in the nation’s February 25 presidential election resoundingly won by Asíwájú Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State deserves everybody’s pity and prayers.
As his own way of helping the Rivers state governor, Bashorun Momodu has promised to continue to pray for him so that God can, according to him, ‘deliver Wike from the demon of anger’ and hypocrisy which in his view is ravaging the governor.
Speaking via his verified Instagram handle, Momodu revealed that nearly one year since the Rivers governor lost his bid to win the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, he has remained embittered, inconsolable and continues to sulk.
Momodu admonished Wike to stop being a control freak that is habitually listening to parochial second opinions. Notwithstanding , this does not detract him from acknowledging Wike as a brilliant administrator.
Momodu pointed out that due to Wike’s uncontrolled anger and desire to always subdue people around him, the Peter Obi that he ‘stylistically intimidated out of PDP’, left PDP for him to emerge as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP). And today, in Momodu’s words, Obi has currently gained more political relevance than him.
Momodu’s statement hereby reproduced below by Theliberationnews: “Nearly one year after GOVERNOR NYESOM WIKE lost the PDP Presidential Primary election, he remains inconsolable and continues to sulk endlessly… As his big Brother who loves him so much, I will continue to offer him prayers so that God can deliver him fully from this demon of ANGER.
“WIKE truly deserves our pity and prayers. He is a hardworking man who suffers from several afflictions like many mortals: the chief of which is rabid anger. He is a control freak who expects everyone to bow and tremble before him no matter your age or influence in society. Sometimes, when God has been so kind to a man, he may begin to see himself as God.
“WIKE is gloating that ATIKU lost the election, the process of which is still ongoing. But WIKE lost his own election since last year and he is yet to recover. WIKE is happy that DR IYORCHIA AYU is no longer our National Chairman. Oh, but despite his attacks against the gentleman, WIKE’s power and wealth couldn’t remove him. Only cowards mock the “dead” in battle. Like a suicide bomber, WIKE terminated the dreams of three of his Governor friends, in his war of attrition. So what exactly did he gain? He said I did not win any vote but we both lost, yet he wasted billions of state resources on pursuing a dream he couldn’t achieve. I remain a journalist without borders, while he continues to oppress his hapless and seemingly helpless victims in Rivers State. Even the PETER OBI that he stylistically intimidated out of PDP is far more relevant today. ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR remains a global statesman in politics and in business. And he still can’t do without the ARISE NEWS that he pretends to hate so much. What is there to gloat about?
“WIKE will know life better after May 29, 2023, no matter what position he occupies thereafter. No one would ever trust him. He will be viewed with suspicion and derision. He may become the first Governor Emeritus to live in the Government House with the new Governor or move the Governor into his own guest chalet for the sole purpose of signing documents. It is the way the cookie crumbles. What a sad end to a brilliant career!! Very unfortunate,” Momodu concluded.
