BREAKING: Dele Momodu Gets Involved, Joins PDP

Publisher, journalist and Social Crusader, Dele Momodu has re-engaged himself in the murky waters of politics as he joined Nigeria’s main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Momodu revealed his intent to work with the PDP in a statement, saying that his decision is not unconnected with his resolve to contribute meaningfully to the development of the country.

“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),” he said in the statement released on Friday morning.

“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 accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of failing in delivering democratic dividends to Nigerians, maintaining that the PDP has landmark achievements to show for their 16-year rule.

“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.

Meanwhile, the PDP stalwarts have been on a hunt to bring people of goodwill into its fold. Dele Momodu cuts a picture of such personalities of goodwill.
