Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation Magazine, says he never
campaigned for President Muhammadu Buhari.
Momodu said this in an interview with
Chude Jideonwo, the media entrepreneur.
Speaking on his view of the president, Momodu said: “I
actually like the man personally but his politics, no way.”
The 2023 presidential aspirant denied allegations that he promoted Buhari’s campaign for the presidency.
“I didn’t sell Buhari to you. All I did was post his
pictures. There is no way anyone can say, I said you must go and vote for
Buhari,” he said.
“The mess in Nigeria today is because Nigerians find it
difficult to detach themselves from career politicians.
“But Nigeria cannot continue in this madness. Why we lack
progress is because we are too embittered, too enraged it is unbelievable.”
Momodu also spoke about how he lived in fear in London after
fleeing from the military government of Sani Abacha, former head of state.
He narrated how an explosion shocked him and his staff while
at their office space close to the Canary Wharf in London.
“So we got an office and second-hand furniture. So we
decided to get a bottle of cognac and celebrate because we got an office not
minding how we were going to pay printers,” he said.
“Then boom! There was a bomb next to our building. A massive
explosion with over 100 houses blown apart.
“We started running,
and I started shouting Abacha! Abacha!.
“I thought Abacha had discovered where I was. So we ran, and
we saw police dogs everywhere. Apparently, they had evacuated the area, and we
didn’t know because we were busy celebrating.
“But we were lucky the building was bombproof, and our
building was able to withstand the impact.”
