DELE MOMODU CONGREGATED ATIKU

2019 Elections

Dele Momodu, Publisher of Ovation magazine, has sent a congratulatory message to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, the Presidential candidate of the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, on his performance in Saturday’s election.

 

Atiku was described as a true democrat in the tweet released on Tuesday which also praised the former Vice President’s fighting spirit.

He also urged Atiku to place Nigeria above everything even though he was cheated.

Momodu said, “My dear Wazirin, accept my congratulations on an election decently fought by you. I’ve no doubt that you’re a true democrat by your composure and comportment. I was one of your volunteers from the distance like I did for BUHARI in 2015.”

“My dear WAZIRIN, I supported you for only one reason, I believe no government should be encouraged to have a second term if its performance in the first term is below average. I was neither a member of APC nor PDP but a firm believer in a virile opposition.

“My dear WAZIRIN, you became my option after you won your ticket on the platform of PDP knowing from personal experience that only the top two party tickets have any chance of winning this Presidential race though I supported other younger candidates, morally and otherwise.

“My dear WAZIRIN, my hope was for a level playing field for all candidates, young or old, but obviously that did not happen, even if no election can ever be perfect. Many Nigerians prayed and fasted and did whatever they could in the expectation that our democracy would deepen.

“My dear WAZIRIN, to cut a long tale short, many lives have been wasted, many citizens have been brutally injured, and the results have virtually been declared, and the direction is all too obvious. And this is where you come in, as tempers rise, left, right and centre.

“My dear WAZIRIN, every normal human being would feel deeply hurt with the level of garrison operations we recently witnessed. But all wounds ultimately heal, if properly treated. I want you to place Nigeria above every other consideration, no matter how much you feel cheated.”
