Nigerian publisher, Dele Momodu has disclosed why he switched camps in the 2019 Presidential election and supported Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party.
Dele Momodu said in an interview with Osasu Igbinedion on The Osasu Show, that nothing was changing with the Buhari presidency which has crippled the independence of both the national assembly and the judiciary.
Momodu said “I believe that the APC did not show capacity for the change that they promised when they came in 2015, and after a few interactions, interventions and writing columns upon columns, writing open letters to the president, and I could see that nothing was changing, of course, I had to try the next person. The next person that PDP produced was Alhaji Atiku Abubakar. Unfortunately, he didn’t have the firepower because the other people already had their own template by which they were going to win the election. They controlled INEC, they controlled the military, we saw the rehearsal from Osun state, we all raised an alarm that this is no longer democracy”
