In an open letter to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), media mogul and politician, Dele Momodu, on Thursday, expressed his deep concerns about the behavior of a prominent member of the party.
Momodu, in his usual forthright manner, criticized the unnamed member for publicly berating the party and its leadership during a live television appearance.
Naija News had earlier reported that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, on Wednesday, criticised some leaders of the PDP who met with the Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.
There had been speculations that Fubara might dump the PDP due to crisis in the Rivers State political space.
Dele Momodu, in his letter, noted that the figure, who have risen through the ranks of PDP to a position of prominence, had reportedly lambasted fellow members, even referring to them as “vampires.”
Exposed!! Popular Abuja doctor revealed how men can naturally and permanently cure poor erection, quick ejaculation, small and shameful manhood without side effects. Even if you are hypertensive or diabetic . Stop the use of hard drugs for sex!! It kills!
He emphasized that while political parties may have disagreements, it is critical to maintain decorum and respect for the institution that had played a significant role in shaping the individual’s career.
In his letter, Momodu questioned the necessity of forming a Reconciliation Committee within the party, arguing that politics, like religion or marriage, is a voluntary act, and members should be free to leave if they are frustrated.
However, he condemned the behavior of trying to “bring the roof down” and acting as if one person owns the entire party.
Momodu further lamented that the party almost lost a governor due to the inflated ego of a single individual, calling for greater humility and respect among party members.
He pointed out that just as others helped this prominent figure in the past, it is essential to reciprocate that goodwill rather than treating others like slaves or holding them ransom.
Momodu concluded his letter by warning that if past leaders had displayed the same level of indiscipline, there would have been no PDP for the current leaders to inherit.
He wrote, “Yesterday, I watched with every sense of wonderment and amazement as a prominent member of PDP belched fire and brimstone, live on Television. daring anyone to expel him from the political party that made him everything he is today, virtually from ground zero. What was worse, he lambasted some unnamed members of PDP and even called them VAMPIRES!! Lord have mercy.
“About the same time, some of our members were elsewhere swearing-in members of the Disciplinary and Reconciliation Committees.
“While I could understand the need for a Disciplinary Committee, I saw no need for the so-called Reconciliation Committee.
“Politics, like religion or marriage, is a voluntary act. It is your right to quit any political party if and when you’re tired and frustrated. And you may choose to rejoin at anytime. You won’t be the first or the last.
“But it is the height of indiscipline to bring the roof down and create the impression that you’re the sole owner of one of Africa’s biggest political parties. What chicanery!!
“We almost lost one of our Governors last week because of the voluptuous ego of one man who loves to play God. Helping a man to power is no reason to treat anyone like a slave, or hold him permanently to ransom.
“Some people helped you too and today you’re no longer friends with them. If every leader before you behaved in this unruly manner, there would have been no State for you to inherit and misappropriate.
“PDP needs to wake up from its deep slumber. PDP is extremely lucky that APC has not been an attractive option since it grabbed power.
“Otherwise, many politicians would have been lost to them. Time is running out. Our party and friends in other opposition parties should seize this moment to collaborate and rescue Nigeria from APC. Let us pray for our country as it speeds down the slope…
“Long live the Federal Republic of Nigeria.”
