Veteran journalist and politician Dele Momodu has sharply criticised governors of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for distancing themselves from the newly formed opposition coalition led by former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
According to Momodu, their refusal to join the alliance could indicate covert support for President Bola Tinubu’s administration.
Speaking during an interview on Arise TV’s Prime Time on Monday, April 14, Momodu expressed frustration over the PDP Governors’ Forum’s decision, which was announced after a meeting in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The Forum declared it would not join the coalition, which also includes former Kaduna State governor Nasir El-Rufai and former Labour Party presidential candidate Peter Obi.
Momodu warned that unity among opposition leaders is critical to challenging the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) effectively in future elections.
“Atiku cannot do it alone, Peter Obi cannot do it alone, and Kwankwaso cannot do it alone,” Momodu said.
“They have to find a way to pay the APC back in its own coin… by getting a chunk of all the parties, including APC, to come together.”
