The Director, Strategic Communications of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Campaign Council, Aare Dele Momodu, had decried the rate at which the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has continually attempted to frustrate the campaign efforts through wantom destructioof its campaign materials including posters and billboards.

The media strategist made the revelation during a conference with media men in Abuja on Friday, adding that the denials also extended to the use of state owned radio stations, with special emphasis to Lagos State, reputed as the home state of the candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu.

“It is been virtually impossible for us to install our billboards or paste our posters in APC government controlled states, especially in Lagos where the candidate of the APC is seen as next to God.

“I wish to appeal through you to the Federal Government since they control the APC, that this is not what democracy is all about.”

The party also challenged the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to engage in issue based campaign and not that of violence.

Also at the media briefing, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Debo Ologunagba, condemned the alleged call for violence by the APC candidate, saying “that is not what Nigerians want.”

He however, challenged Tinubu to engage Nigerians on ideas on how to transform the country, and allow the people to decide.

Frontline journalist and Director of Strategic Communications of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Council in the just concluded Presidential election, Chief Dele Momodu, had said that he remains a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and will always stand on the side of rule of law, and with the party’s presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

Momodu made the revelations in a statement he signed himself, noting that the last election, which brought Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to power, was savagely manipulated by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He praised the steps Atiku, and the presidential candidate of the Labour candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, have taken in seeking legal redress.

The statement in details:

I STAND ON RULE OF LAW

My position on the state of our country NIGERIA is simple and straightforward. I’m a loyal member of PDP who owes absolute allegiance to Nigeria and its Rule of Law. My political party PDP and others passionately hold the view that the last Presidential election was savagely manipulated by the ruling party APC and the cases are already in courts. Nothing will make me abandon my party on the altar of convenience and profit. Win or lose, I will continue to stand on this principle without any malice or prejudice against those who think otherwise. Democracy is a game of choice and I’m resolutely standing by our candidate, the former Vice President ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR (GCON) who has taken the honorable and peaceful step of going to court to seek redress. This is the only way we can deepen our hard earned Democracy. Sacrifice is not always convenient but painful.

I salute and respect The Wazirin Adamawa and others like my dear friend and Brother, former Governor Peter Obi, the Labor Party Presidential candidate, for promoting the best tenets of Democracy in Nigeria and I’m willing to encourage them rather than discourage their onerous quests…

In the first policy directive of his administration, President Bola Tinubu has announced the removal of fuel subsidy.

He disclosed this on Monday in his inaugural speech as the new President of Nigeria.

According to him, subsidy can no longer justify its ever increasing costs in the wake of drying resources.

“We shall instead re-channel the funds into better investment in public infrastructure, education, healthcare and jobs that will materially improve the lives of millions,” Tinubu stated.
