Dele Momodu Reacts As Presidency Queries Obasanjo’s Absence At Democracy Day by Lovechisom55: 9:05am On Jun 20, 2019
Media mogul, Dele Momodu, has queried Presidency Muhammadu Buhari’s statement to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, seeking an explanation for his absence at democracy day celebration on June 12.

Obasanjo, however, claimed that he was not invited for the national event.

However, in a statement on Wednesday by his Senior Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, Buhari said Obasanjo owes Nigerians explanation on why he did not attend the programme.

He said, “The former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, owes an answer to Nigerians on his absence from the 2019 Presidential inauguration and Democracy Day celebration because the claim that he was not invited or he did not receive an invitation cannot be sustained.

“Since the claim was first made, elements in the polity that have deliberately and consistently been trying to lead the country toward polarization have cashed in on it, throwing all manner of rubbish at the Buhari Presidency.”

However, reacting Momodu took to his Twitter page, stating that everyone is entitled to rights of movement and association.

He expressed surprise over Presidency statement, adding that Obasanjo has the right to be absent at the occasion.

Momodu wrote: “No rights of movement or association again?

“Obasanjo never pretended to like Buhari’s government and that is his prerogative.”

Probably Momodu is not following the issue, OBJ said he was not invited that is the reason why he never turned up for the occasion. The response from the presidency was as a result of the statement credited to OBJ.

Query for not attending a ceremonial event?

Strange. Very strange?

Is OBJ an employee of the FG?

What about the query to others who did not show up?

This sound very much like fake news.

Why's OBJ Suddenly important to these people?

He wasn't the only past Head of State or President who did not honour the invite.

Why are they singling him out?

People don't read before commenting.

I'm even more surprised about Momodu's stance.

The presidency claimed they gave OBJ an IV and was signed for by his PA, contrary to what OBJ said. The presidency then asked OBJ to say the real motive behind his being absent at the inauguration and stop saying he wasn't given an IV.

Is that too hard for people to understand. It is not like they are querying him or saying he has no freedom of association and movement.

OBJ owes no one an explanation. He can choose what occasion to attend and not to attend. The presidency should concern itself with fixing the ailing economy and insecurity starring it in it's face than concerning itself with inconsequentialities.

He said he was not invited that is the reason why he did not attend the ceremony, so the presidency want to clear his name.
