I Will Defeat Atiku, Saraki, Others To Get PDP Ticket — Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu, a presidential candidate for the Peoples Democratic Party, has claimed that he is convinced that he will defeat other contenders for the party’s ticket in the 2023 election, including former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President Bukola Saraki, and others.

Momodu stated this to reporters in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Sunday, at the inauguration of Rotarian ‘Muyiwa Mathew Fajimi as the Charter President of the Rotary Club of Ibara GRA District 9110.

Because “he is new and clean,” the Presidential aspirant believes he is the greatest choice to succeed President Muhammadu Buhari(retd.).

Momodu said, “It has nothing to do with the South, whether North or from the South, you have a Dele Momodu, who is coming fresh. He has never been in government, he has not been tainted by power. He is coming fresh. I am the only one.”

He however said finance is no longer Nigeria’s challenge rather the political class who engage in “wasteful spending.”

Momodu noted that a lot of Nigerian politicians in government enjoy what they could not enjoy in their private capacity, thereby putting pressure on the nation’s finances.

He, therefore, called for an urgent cut in government’s spending with a view to focussing on developmental projects.

He said “Finance is not a problem in Nigeria. It’s about the determination of one leader to do what’s right and one of the things we need to cut urgently is waste in government. A lot of Nigerian politicians in government enjoy what they could not enjoy in their private capacity. There is nothing I want to enjoy now that I have not enjoyed. I am coming there to work for legacy.

“The moment you reduce how much you waste on Politicians, you will see that there will be money for development. There will be money for projects.”
