- Opposition parties must vehemently oppose this brazen attempt at forcing a one-party dictatorship on Nigeria,” Momodu said.
- Momodu criticized the violation of democratic principles, which should ensure the separation of powers between federal and state entities.
Prominent PDP leader Dele Momodu has expressed grave worries regarding President Bola Tinubu’s role in the ongoing dispute between Rivers State Governor Sim Fubara and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister Nyesom Wike.
Momodu expressed his displeasure on Instagram, calling Tinubu’s intervention “legally absurd” and questioning the President’s jurisdiction to oversee both state and federal matters at the same time.
“The directives to Rivers state by a Federal President is really absurd in legal terms. No President can be a Headmaster of both State and Federal,” remarked Momodu, expressing strong reservations about what he perceived as overreach by the federal government into state matters.
He also lambasted what he termed an infringement on the democratic principles that should safeguard the separation of powers between federal and state entities.
“Opposition parties must vehemently oppose this brazen attempt at forcing a one-party dictatorship on Nigeria,” Momodu said.
