You’ve been crying like a baby whose lollipop was taken, Atiku defeated you. Get a life - Dele Momodu

Dele Momodu, a former presidential aspirant of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has addressed the ongoing grievances of former Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike within the party. Speaking in a recent video shared by Channels TV, Momodu advised Wike to let go of his frustrations stemming from the 2022 PDP presidential primary election, where he lost to Atiku Abubakar.

Momodu emphasized that Wike should stop “dwelling on the past,” urging him to recognize the achievements he has made in his political career. He highlighted Wike’s successful tenure as governor of Rivers State and his current role as a minister, suggesting that these accomplishments should serve as a foundation for his future endeavors.

In a candid remark, Momodu stated, “You have been crying like a baby whose lollipop was taken away from him, every day you are crying. Atiku defeated you, get a life.” He acknowledged Wike’s capabilities and urged him to focus on his current responsibilities rather than lamenting past electoral losses.

The former presidential aspirant’s comments come amid ongoing discussions within the PDP regarding unity and reconciliation after a divisive primary season. 

Wike’s discontent has been evident since the 2022 election, and his criticisms have raised concerns about party cohesion as the PDP prepares for future electoral challenges.

Momodu’s call for Wike to redirect his energy towards constructive engagement reflects a broader sentiment among some party members who believe that unresolved grievances could hinder the PDP’s ability to present a united front. By encouraging Wike to embrace his achievements and responsibilities, Momodu aims to foster a sense of purpose and optimism within the party ranks.
