I Can’t Compete Financially With Wike Or Atiku, But I Have My Strategy – Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu, the publisher of Ovation magazine, says he lacks the financial capacity to compete with Nyesom Wike, Rivers governor, and former President Atiku Abubakar ahead of the presidential primary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Momodu is one of the presidential aspirants of the opposition party, and he will lock horns with Atiku and Wike, among others, at the primary of the party slated for May 28 and 29.

Speaking in an interview on Arise TV on Tuesday night, Momodu said he cannot match the duo “cash for cash”.

The seasoned journalist said he is relying on his strategy of interfacing with people and his interactions on social media.

Momodu said: “I cannot compete for money, cash for cash with Wike, or with Atiku.

“But I am using what I have. I have used my strategy, and there is nobody I am to reach that I have not reached either directly or through my writings or my interactions on technology or social media.

“I am reaching a mass of the people. I have 66,000 Nigerians today on my database. I am talking to young people. I am speaking about the problems of Nigeria.”

Momodu said the presidential aspirants should be worried about the lingering strike action of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and not about how to “buy” delegates to win the party’s ticket.

PDP presidential aspirants are expected to jostle for the votes of over 800 delegates from the 36 states and the federal capital territory (FCT) at the Moshood Abiola International Stadium in Abuja.

The newly appointed Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, has announced the removal of the 18-year age limit for admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria.

He also indicated the possibility of a comprehensive review of the nation’s education policy.

However, Alausa made it clear that there would be no reversal of the Federal Government’s decision to invalidate over 22,700 degree certificates acquired by Nigerians from unrecognized universities in neighboring Togo and the Benin Republic.

Speaking at his inaugural ministerial press conference in Abuja on Wednesday, Alausa emphasized that practical education is key to tackling Nigeria’s unemployment crisis. He stated that tertiary institutions must stop producing graduates without ensuring job opportunities for them.

The minister also revealed plans for the federal government to partner with private sector players to provide training opportunities for students and help them realize their full potential.

Additionally, Alausa announced that universities focused on agriculture would be empowered to implement commercial farming practices as part of efforts to address the country’s food security challenges.
