Dele Momodu: No Chance of Joining APC, Cites Tyrannical Leadership
Some Individuals Hesitant to Affiliate with APC despite Desire, Lacking Courage to Admit it - Dele Momodu
Veteran journalist and politico, Dele Momodu, is unequivocal in his stance - he's not hopping over to the All Progressives Congress (APC). If he were to make such a move, said Momodu during a chat with Channels Television, he'd be peddling excuses like those of other politicians who've deserted one party to join another.
Speaking candidly on Wednesday, Momodu also voiced that some politicians are keen on joining the APC but lack the courage to take the plunge, as they're still weighing their options.
According to our source, Momodu blanketly stated he's not mulling over any such defection plans. He couldn't stomach sitting in a room where a single man would call the shots like some feudal lord, ordering adults around like they were his personal serfs[1][2][3].
"I ain't touchin' the APC, that's a tough no-no. If I wanted to jump ship to the APC, I wouldn't be spillin' the truth like this mornin'. Instead, I'd be usin' all sorts of justifications, like those politicians who're weak-kneed and can't admit they're switchin' sides. I ain't flip-floppin', man, my heart's not in any games right now. I can't stomach sittin' in a room where a dude thinks he's the boss of all bosses, barkin' orders left and right as if we're livin' back in the olden days, n' I'ma be there, eatin' that nonsense," Momodu bluntly said[1][2][3].
