It Feels Like We Have Two Presidents!” — Dele Momodu Speaks on Wike’s Rising Influence
Prominent PDP chieftain, Dele Momodu, has sparked fresh political debate with his recent comments comparing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and FCT Minister Nyesom Wike. According to Momodu, despite Tinubu’s long-standing political dominance in Lagos since 1999, he hasn’t been as “audacious” in governance as Wike.
Momodu’s remarks are raising eyebrows and stoking conversations across the political spectrum, as many Nigerians begin to question the growing political weight of the former Rivers State governor in the current administration.
“Right now, it’s looking like we have two Presidents in Nigeria,” Momodu said, alluding to Wike’s perceived autonomy and assertiveness within the federal structure.
Is this a reflection of shifting power dynamics, or a wake-up call for the Presidency to reassert its dominance?
