A seasoned journalist and publisher of Ovations Magazine, Dele Momodu has hailed President Bola Tinubu’s intervention following the sealing of People’s Democratic Party(PDP) national secretariat by FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike.
Momodu said Tinubu’s mediation has put Wike in check, who he described as a cantankerous minister.
He condemned Wike’s style of governance, saying he is indirectly competing with the President with his ‘tautological press conferences’ that seems to make him uncontrollable.
He wrote, “Your Excellency, good evening Sir. I have just read the news here in America that you have stepped into the matter of your cantankerous Minister of FCT, MR NYESOM WIKE who sealed the National Secretariat of the PDP, the biggest rival of your ruling party, APC, and properties of other defaulters in Abuja earlier today.
“While no one should condone non-compliance of government obligations, government must always restrain itself from vindictive outbursts such as that of Nigeria’s most querulous politician who I’m sure is fast becoming a liability to your government.
“The decision to stop Wike today achieved several points in your favor.
We used to think we have two Presidents in Nigeria, TINUBU and WIKE. Now, we know WIKE has a Boss who can checkmate his excesses.
“How I wished you had stopped his reckless disruption and distraction of the SIM FUBARA government in Rivers State and saved the hapless people from this unfortunate contraption called emergency rule.
“Nigerians are currently going through so much hardship and
pain and you need to rescue them from WIKE’s additional burden and insults. WIKE’s assignments are far smaller than that of Minister DAVE UMAHI, yet the man is so humble while WIKE subjects Nigerians to his tautological press conferences as if he’s running his own Federal government and not under anyone’s control.
“Sir, there can’t be two Captains in one ship and I hope WIKE got that message loud and clear from your powerful intervention today”.
