Momodu Challenges Wike Over Osun Election Claims

Dele Momodu, in response to Nyesom Wike's assertion that President Bola Tinubu could have influenced the Osun State election for the All Progressives Congress (APC) to win, stated that Osun voters would have decisively rejected Wike. Momodu remarked, "Adeleke is not Fubara," indicating a distinction between the political situations in Osun and Rivers States.

Wike had claimed during an interactive session that if President Tinubu had wanted to ensure an APC victory in Osun, he would have intervened. The context of this exchange is the APC's defeat in Osun, where Adeleke ran under the Accord Party.

Momodu's comments suggest a critique of Wike's political standing, particularly in light of Fubara's recent political struggles in Rivers State, where he faced significant challenges and lost support. Wike had previously described Fubara as the biggest loser in the Rivers political crisis, highlighting Fubara's inability to maintain control over the state assembly and local elections.
