Nigeria’s leading publisher, Dele Momodu was recently
interviewed at his London home by the publisher of City People Magazine, Seye
Kehinde, where he explained why he is supporting Buhari and why Nigerians
should give APC a chance and not PDP again.
Some pro-Jonathan have accused you of being in favour of
Buhari. Why did you take sides?
Simple. I have always been a member of opposition. So,
naturally I will support opposition. But I am not a card carrying member of
APC. And I am not in PDP. But my sympathy goes towards opposition. Continue...
Number two is the realisation after my own contest I now
understand better the factors that can affect Nigeria either positively or
negatively. I believe PDP, having been there for 16 years, and not much to show
for it, but with plenty of money gone down the drain, we should be able to tell
them that we can change them when they underperform. So it’s not just about
liking Buhari.
In my own case I am supporting Buhari because I have tried
Jonathan, I have seen that he has been there for so many and he should have
made better impact, though his people will have us believe he is the best
President Nigeria ever had. I won’t argue about that. Beauty is in the eye of
the beholder. I see Buhari as a rallying point at this moment. Nigeria needs a
father figure. I didn’t believe a day will come that I will campaign for
Buhari. We all use to see him as one of the dictators who ruled Nigeria in
those days.
But then, the reality on ground is that we have only 2
options between Jonathan and Buhari and since I am a member of opposition so
who ever they bring in opposition so who ever they bring in opposition I must
accept.
