Celebrated media mogul, Dele Momodu, in a recent interview, explained why he threw his weight behind the senate presidency of former Kwara State governor, Bukola Saraki, who is now a Senator, against the wish of the national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu. Excerpt;

Your thoughts about President Muhammadu Buhari seems to have changed compared to before he assumed office, why I am surprised at your comment because I have never changed. I am the biggest supporter of President Muhammadu Buhari today. All I have done is to tell the president what people are saying outside, that is my job.

We don’t tell our leaders the truth. I told former president, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, the truth throughout his tenure. This is detailed in my forthcoming book, titled, ‘Pendulum, a book of prophesy’. Everything I told President Jonathan happened. I owe that to our president too today. Once you become the president in Nigeria, people stop telling you the truth. They only tell you what you want to hear. I am a stakeholder in this government.

I wonder what would have happened to me if the PDP had returned to power. I was already under constant threat. I received threat messages. I had to name all the numbers anonymous because they were all attacking me for supporting Buhari. I didn’t support the president because I wanted anything from him. I supported him because I believed at this time of our lives, we need a father-figure, what I called the Mandela- option in Nigeria. And I thought Buhari, as a man of integrity, of impeccable character, fits that bill.

But, three months after the election, Nigerians are getting impatient because most of them cannot wait for even one second. I was the first to write an article titled, ’In Search Of Patience’, telling the people to exercise patience with the man. But being patient does not mean we should fold our arms indefinitely. There are things that can still be done.

I found a proverb somewhere which says ‘the meat of antelope tastes very good, but while it is cooking, we can still make do with groundnut’. While we are waiting for that big action, some things must keep us going, whether popcorn, ice cream or something. If the National Assembly, within some minutes, approved about 15 Special Advisers; so, what is stopping us from picking our National Security Adviser, if we have to change the one there now.

How about the Chief of Staff, the Principal Secretary, the Secretary to the Federal Government? The longer it takes, the longer the tension, and also the longer the pressure on Mr President. I want the president to know that if they begin to put pressure on him, things may begin to fall apart. Had it been some things are already in place, I am sure the tension would have reduced.
