A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has urged former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George to stop harbouring what he described as anti-Atiku sentiments.
In a post on X, Momodu stated that Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President, has a legitimate right to pursue his presidential ambition.
He was reacting to a video interview in which George criticised Atiku for allegedly placing his personal ambition above party interests.
DAILY POST reports that Atiku and George were previously members of the PDP before the former VP defected to the ADC.
George, in the interview, openly faulted Atiku’s continued presidential bid.
“There’s someone who has been bragging so much, and whom I pity so much.
“Despite elder statesmen’s efforts to make peace reign, this person insists that it’s his ambition. He keeps insisting he would run, but is his ambition greater than that of Nigeria?” George had said.
Reacting, Momodu wrote, “Baba mi sir, you know I love and respect you a lot, kindly purge yourself of anti-Atiku sentiments.
“It is his right to contest, sir, while it is your right not to support him. Atiku has never bragged to anyone about his political dreams. Never.”
