Tinubu’s outing at Chatham House, complete charade, says Momodu

The director, Strategic Communication of the Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), former Vice President Atiku Campaign Organization, Dele Momodu, has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s outing at Chatham House, London, as a complete charade.

Momodu in a statement Tuesday said Tinubu’s handlers fumbled, and bungled.

He said the APC presidential candidate was showcased like a packaged invalid, adding that, “It would have been better to present him as a brilliant politician and administrator, warts and all, who’s capable of independent thoughts.

“No man is perfect. His gaffes would have been more pardonable and acceptable… He was expected to sell his own vision and mission…

“But what we saw yesterday was a theatre of the absurd. It brought back memories of our great President Alhaji Umaru Muda Yar’adua and how he mysteriously disappeared from radar and some of his aides governed by proxy.

“What was unacceptable then is even more unacceptable now with benefits of hindsight. Our country should be placed above friendship.

“Truth is the problem of Nigeria is often aggravated by the voluptuous ambitions of some acolytes who wish to remain eternally relevant in the corridors of power at the expense of the long-suffering nation.

“All those around Tinubu yesterday knew the bitter truth but chose to fool Nigerians.

“Very sad, and unfortunate, that whenever we think Nigeria can never sink deeper into the abyss, something occurs that jolts us out of such assumptions and complacency.”
