Dele Momodu, a prominent figure in the African Democratic Congress (ADC) coalition, announced on Monday that representatives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had transferred the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Momodu revealed this while pointing out that the PDP has been taken over by APC agents. Speaking in an interview, the veteran journalist said: “ADC is a coalition of different political parties and I resigned from the PDP because I saw that we have reached a kind of cul-de-sac, so I’m joining ADC.
“I resigned since and you could see that PDP has been completely hijacked by agents of the ruling party, APC, who insist on staying in PDP while working for APC, it’s a kind of anomaly but it’s okay.
“If I don’t agree with my party, the honourable thing to do is to resign and that’s what I did.”
Momodu also revealed that he is keeping an eye on the PDP’s developments.
He went on to say: “Apart from being a politician, I’m also a journalist and I monitor events in the PDP and other political parties and it’s almost certain that PDP will not be able to rescue itself from the agent of the ruling party and that was why I left.
“I can’t in good conscience be in PDP while I work for a coalition or any other party. Anyone who knows me, know my trajectory will remember that I contested the presidential election in 2011 on the platform of National Conscience Party and I came to the party from Labour when I realized that Labour was not interested in contesting the presidency at that time. I learnt a lesson from it and got 26,000 votes.
“PDP is at the dead end and some people are desperate, they don’t want to kill it but to keep it in ICU for whatever purpose and that is why they have refused to leave, they are using it as a cadava room, it’s a shame.”
