Veteran journalist and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Dele Momodu, has accused President Bola Tinubu of destroying democracy because he wants a second term by fire or by force.
Momodu stated this on Thursday, when he appeared on ‘Prime Time’, a programme on Arise Television.
He described Tinubu as a smart and powerful man who is using people to do his biddings, adding that he would continue to use them.
He reminded the President that he had once fought for democracy, urging him not to destroy what he had built over the years.
“So what shall it profit you to do two terms, three terms, if you can live forever and rule Nigeria forever? But at the end of the day, your name enters that book of ignominy.
“If I meet him today, that’s the question I will ask him. Is it worth it? You got what Awolowo could not get. You got what Abiola could not get, what Azikiwe was chasing. These are people of incredible mental capacity. They couldn’t get it. You got it either by hook, by crook, by luck, by whatever means you got it, and because you must do the second term by fire or by force, then you will destroy the entire democracy,” he said.
