A presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party and publisher, Ovation magazine, Dele Momodu, on Friday, recounted his experience with Senator Remi Tinubu, wife of the presidential flagbearer of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, during the funeral of chieftain of the APC, Kemi Nelson, in Lagos, stating that he chose to place Nigeria above friendship.

Momodu, in a terse statement posted on his verified Instagram page via @delemomoduovation, said, “Only two people, apart from the photographers, witnessed what happened between me and Senator Oluremi Tinubu yesterday, at the funeral service of Chief Kemi Nelson, at (the) Archbishop Vining Memorial Church in Ikeja, Lagos.

“Before some people add salt and pepper to it, I need to state precisely what happened…

“Senator Tokunbo Abiru and Dr Tunji Olowolafe and I had walked in about the same time and we went to greet my very dear sister, Senator Oluremi Tinubu. Immediately she saw me, we exchanged our usual pleasantries and then she asked me, ‘So Bob Dee, you’re not going to campaign for my husband…?’ I smiled and remained very calm before replying: ‘Your Excellency, I’m in PDP…’ She apparently didn’t find it funny and regaled us with the past I shared with her husband and I tried to calm her down.

“Anyway, I went back to my seat and pondered on what just happened and I soliloquised: ‘Before the
PDP Primary, I had been asked repeatedly by journalists if I’ll dump (the) PDP if I don’t get the ticket, my answer was NO. So if I had gotten the PDP ticket, would I step down for Tinubu of (the) APC, the answer is No.’

“I joined (the) PDP because the APC was leading Nigeria to Golgotha. The APC candidates are promising to continue Buhari’s ‘good works!’ I joined the PDP in order to sack APC from power and to do this I needed a strong opposition party. I had preached to my younger friends that only a mainstream party like the PDP can achieve this in 2023.

“This remains my conviction. I practise what I preach. Those who disagree are in other parties and I respect their opinions and wish them well. I’m in PDP.

“I love Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. We’ve truly come way back. I love Professor Yemi Osinbajo. I love Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi… And all my APC friends… But the APC has done too much damage to Nigeria.

“I choose to place Nigeria above friendship… I will try my best to support and encourage our PDP candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, to do the right things in our party and to rescue our dear beloved country from the vestiges of oppression, religious intolerance, poverty, terrorism, infrastructure decay, economic wows, unemployment.

“God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”

Bob Dee is more honorable than Peter Obi wey specializes in jumping ship when the sea is stormy. Bob Dee said he never considered changing allegiance, it's called being disciplined, being consistent, being principled but some youth have been taught to not be able to reason deeply and see the ultimate flaw in PO. His the end justifies the means ideology, wether it's a good or bad means. Hmm, the youths seems more deluded than the old politicians wey no wan relinquish power.

This is how politics should be played,not by threaten anybody not to campaign in a particular region.

I'm moving my campaign bus to upper iweka next week Tuesday,Alaigbo must be BATtified.

That's Dele and Remi's problem. This doesn't have anything to do with Obi and I.

"Despite all my husband has done for you by making Lagos conducive for you and your family." - Remi Tinubu would claim.

We might have together way back, but we might not have the same ideology, so sorry madam Remi

You are guilty of the below embellishments that was anticipated by Dele Momodu.

The salt and pepper Dele Momodu was talking about.

Good. There's friendship and there's politics. Same way there's friendship and there's business. Unless both aligns for the benefit of an individual, such individual should keep them distinct. I be your friend no mean say I must support your ambition and I be your friend no mean say I must patronize you even if I get the same deal at a cheaper rate elsewhere.

Seems the Tinubu's believe they own Lagos ? Imagine what they will do and say if they are allowed into Aso rock?

What a demonic set of human beings... Infact these ones will deny some states citizenship of Nigeria until you convert to Islam
