A presidential hopeful, Dele Momodu, has said members of the
ruling All Progressives Congress should be ashamed of the damage they have done
to the country.
According to him, they can’t be rescued from the judgment of
God for plunging the country and its people into unprecedented misery and
penury.
This is as he lamented the gross incompetence and ineptitude
of the current administration which he said was exceptionally high on promises
but abysmally low on deliverables and performances.
Urging the main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party, to
make him the party’s flagbearer in the 2023 presidential election, Momodu
stated that what Nigeria needs is a fresh leader without all the baggage, misadventure,
mishaps and failures of the past.
He said this in a statement issued on Tuesday, titled ‘Dele
Momodu Asks APC To Apologise To Nigerians.’
The statement read in part, “Nigeria is at crossroads and
things can no longer continue as business as usual. No God-fearing citizen can
excuse and readily dismiss the gross incompetence and ineptitude of a ruling
government that was exceptionally high on promises but abysmally low on
deliverables and performances. Nigeria deserves massive apologies from the APC
apparatchiks who should be ashamed of the magnitude of damage they have wreaked
on our long-suffering nation. No amount of fanciful diction, deceptive
sophistry, pedantic casuistry or mendacious demagoguery can rescue them from
the judgment of God for plunging our country and its people into unprecedented
misery and penury.
“I’m working hard and praying that our esteemed Party, PDP,
and its members, most especially our super delegates, would resist all
temptations from highest bidders and put country above pecuniary expectations,
and deem it fit to give me the ticket to represent our Party at the forthcoming
2023 General Elections. We must demonstrate to Nigerians, and the world at
large, that we are ready to offer our people a fresh beginning in a new world
order propelled by education and knowledge.”
The Ovation Magazine boss urged PDP political gladiators and
juggernauts to stop flexing their muscles against one another and think not
just about redeeming the lost glory of the party, and country, but also give
thought to providing succour and comfort to the teeming masses of Nigeria.
“Becoming President of Nigeria should not be about the
promotion and elevation of self as a result of previous lengthy political
appointments. Getting to be Nigeria’s President should be a matter of offering
oneself humbly and honourably in order to serve our Fatherland to the best of
our abilities.
“What Nigeria needs is a fresh leader, someone shorn of all
the baggage, misadventure, mishaps and failures of the past. A charismatic
leader and bridge-builder, with global experience and exposure, capable of
assembling and commanding a combined and novel team of technocrats and
politicians whose sole desire is to change their country for the better, rather
than for self-aggrandisement and pillaging. This is the kind of President that
is required to lead our country out of the drudgery and doldrums. I believe
that I am that person and Leader.
“Our people truly have hope for a better future. They know
that this will not come from a rehash or regurgitation of the same old wine in
new bottles. They want real change. I have been a change agent most of my adult
life. I believe that in the same vein, our reinvigorated Party should entrust
me with the role of the change catalyst in Nigeria. I am new and untainted and
primed for this task. Together, our future is bright and assured.”
