Chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dele Momodu, says he will personally slap President Bola Tinubu on the head if he can curb his government’s extravagant spending and make tangible sacrifices.
In a post published on his X account on Friday, Momodu made this claim and criticized Doyin Okupe—the former spokesperson for former President Olusegun Obasanjo—for endorsing Tinubu’s administration.
He claimed that the Nigerian people had never seen such hardship, and yet he is supporting an extravagant government with unsustainable economic “hocus pocus.”
Momodu continued, saying that advisers such as Okupe are a hindrance to any government’s success.
A portion of his message said: “My dear Egbon, DR DOYIN OKUPE, I’m more amazed at your flip-flops Sir. You’re Reno’s senior in engaging in sophistry since your days as Obasanjo’s Spokesman in 1999, till you fell out.
“You’ve defended almost all governments since then with your eloquence. What has Nigeria gained?
“The people of Nigeria have never had things so bad and you’re both defending a profligate government with untenable economic hocus pocus…
“I will personally carry TINUBU on my head if he’s able to cut the reckless spending of his government, make palpable sacrifices, ignite an agricultural revolution, empower our brilliant and energetic youths with vocational grants instead of distributing cash to phantom politicians, etc… But with advisers like you, no government can succeed.”
