What Dele Momodu Told Remi Tinubu After She Asked If He Won’t Campaign For Her Husband

Former People’s Democratic Party aspirant, Dele Momodu has revealed his encouter with Senator Oluremi Tinubu, the wife of presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Thursday.

The two politicians met at the funeral ceremony of the late APC National Women leader, Chief Mrs Kemi Nelson which was held at Arch Bishop Vining Memorial Church, GRA Ikeja Lagos.

According to Dele Momodu who made this known on his Instagram page, on getting to the venue alongside Senator Tokunbo Abiru and Dr. Tunji Olowofela, he went straight to greet Senator Oluremi Tinubu where she was sitting.

He noted that as soon as she saw him, they exchanged their usual pleasantries and then she asked him: 

“So Bob Dee, you’re not going to campaign for my husband…?”

He said he smiled and remained very calm before replying. He told her that, ‘Your Excellency, I’m in PDP…’ 

According to the publisher of Ovation Magazine, Mrs Tinubu apparently didn’t find his response funny and she regaled the three of them with the past he shared with her husband, Bola Tinubu. He claimed that he later tried to calm her down.

He wote on his page: 

“Anyway, I went back to my seat and pondered on what just happened and I soliloquised: ‘Before the PDP Primary, I had been asked repeatedly by journalists if I’ll dump (the) PDP if I don’t get the ticket, my answer was NO. So if I had gotten the PDP ticket, would I step down for Tinubu of (the) APC, the answer is No.’

“I joined (the) PDP because the APC was leading Nigeria to Golgotha. The APC candidates are promising to continue Buhari’s ‘good works!’ I joined the PDP in order to sack APC from power and to do this I needed a strong opposition party. I had preached to my younger friends that only a mainstream party like the PDP can achieve this in 2023.

“This remains my conviction. I practise what I preach. Those who disagree are in other parties and I respect their opinions and wish them well. I’m in PDP.”
