Attempted Coup Plot: Nigeria’s Intervention In Benin Is Sketchy — Dele Momodu


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6uao1Ebcm8

Former presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Publisher, Dele Momodu, says a last-minute disruption to his planned road trip to Cotonou may have saved him from being caught in the failed coup attempt in Benin Republic.

Explaining that he was originally scheduled to be inside Benin Republic at the exact period the coup scare was unfolding.

He said the unexpected setback that stopped his 5 a.m. departure “was what saved us.”

Momodu narrated that the entire episode felt unreal, noting that he had already mapped out a familiar travel route.

Dele Momodu is a smart guy. He knows how to stay relevant.

How does your being there affect or not affect their aim. They most likely don't even know you and won't care to.

It's very naive to declare a coup on TV without having The President in your hands, as nobody will attack you when you have him in your custody, otherwise he will make contact and you will be attacked easily

Only headless mobs will not understand the coup comes from Mali 🇲🇱, Niger 🇳🇪, Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 they’re all interested in the Benin 🇧🇯 port that’s why ECOWAS didn’t take it lightly. Sanctions is dealing with them they are landlocked countries so they needed access to sea

Fhmmm this could be dangerous. The gerdames (Benin police ) usually maltreat Nigerians a lot. Could this airstrike by Nigeria jets lead to more belligerency?

Even as a career sycophant, you need to up your game if you must be at loggerhead with political heavyweights. Soon, Oga Dele might become an irrelevant stale figure that wouldn’t even be consulted by a local councillor… Tinubu fi ajuló han yin!

You are 100% correct. That Ovation magazine made me believe Dele Momodu was a smart guy not knowing he was the opposite

Even south east. As a kid, I used to think they were smart not knowing they were the complete opposite.

This fat clown feeling too important.

Who dey find you? Who send you? He had to insert himself and make the coup all about him and his yeye travel as if the soldiers planned to round up and kpai every visitor in Benin.

Always overrating himself. He wanted to run for Nigeria's presidency but then went to visit the President of Ghana. I mean, for what?

I think you might be the headless mob here
Guinea is under military rule and it borders Mali with access to the ocean. Guinea Bisau that just came under military rule also has ocean access.

So how does it make sense for those countries to attempt coup in a country that borders Nigeria and is close to Ghana just because of access to the ocean.

Besides, it's really dumb to think that soldiers will plan coup on their govt just to appease some poor foreign countries. That's the dumbest thing I ever heard
