Dele Momodu, celebrity journalist and campaign spokesman of
former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP), has lambasted those defending President Bola Tinubu
over his certificate controversy.
Recall that Tinubu is being accused of forging his Chicago
State University certificate submitted to the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC).
Tinubu and Atiku’s camps have been at loggerheads over the
matter since it has been in the public domain after a United States magistrate
ordered CSU to release the certificate to Atiku.
Speaking in a video, Momodu criticised those asking him to
support Tinubu because they are friends but said he could not align with
forgery.
The Publisher of the Ovation Magazine said even lawyers know
better that it is difficult to defend forgery, and that is why former Aviation
Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has not spoken in support of Tinubu.
“Stop surrounding yourself with sycophants who don’t know anything.
There are more intelligent people in Nigeria who will advise you. Go and find
them. They are there,” he said.
“Nobody can justify forgery, nobody! Lawyers know that
anyway so I’m sure that people like Fani-Kayde, know. They can’t justify it,
that’s why they are all keeping quiet now.”
Momodu added that the president needs to apologise and it is
left for Nigerians to accept or not.
“Why can’t you just apologise and move on? Like I said, it
doesn’t mean people will accept that apology. At least start from somewhere,
you are insulting us.
“And you are allowing these boys who are just coming to
collect peanuts to insult everybody on social media? I will defend a man who
has the courage to apologise,” he added.
