Dele Momodu, publisher of Ovation magazine and chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, has urged former Deputy National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Bode George to stop harbouring what he described as anti-Atiku sentiments, insisting that former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has a legitimate right to pursue his presidential ambition.
Momodu made the call in a post on X on Friday while reacting to a video interview in which George criticised Atiku for allegedly placing his personal ambition above party interests.
In the interview, conducted in Yoruba, George openly faulted Atiku’s continued presidential bid.
“There’s someone who has been bragging so much, and whom I pity so much,” George said.
“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’s?
