Dele Momodu dumps APC for PDP, says ruling party ‘has diluted, wasted, or diminished’ achievements of previous govts
Former Presidential candidate of the National Conscience Party (NCP) in the 2011 election and Chairman/Publisher of the Ovation Media Group, Chief Dele Momodu has officially joined main opposition, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Chief Momodu, Friday announced his decision to dump the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the PDP, citing his ‘vehement opposition to the policies and practices of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and its leadership, which has denuded our country of everything we hold dear.’
Momodu announced his decision in a statement on Friday, explaining that his decision was informed by his opposition to the policies of the ruling APC.
“I have consulted widely. And it is clear to me that given the dangerous and disastrous drift that our nation has experienced in the past six years, the only party from which amends can be made to rectify our situation is the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
“This accords with my vehement opposition to the policies and practices of the All Progressive Congress (APC) and its leadership, which has denuded our country of everything we hold dear – national unity, cohesion, security, economic prosperity, educational advancement, social infrastructure, and above all, our cherished moral values.
“For these reasons, I am happy to declare that I am now a full-fledged participating member of the great and patriotic Peoples Democratic Party,” he said.
According to Momodu, the APC has failed to deliver on its promises and has instead pulled down some of the achievements of the PDP in its 16-year control of the Federal Government.
“It is deeply saddening and regrettable that some of the biggest and landmark achievements recorded under the PDP administration have been diluted, wasted, or diminished by the present APC government,” he added.
