Dele Momodu throws six knockout punches to Festus Keyamo in terse statement

Dele Momodu, the founder of the Ovation Group and a former presidential aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has criticized Festus Keyamo, the Minister of State for Labour and Employment and the spokesperson for the Tinubu-Shettima presidential campaign council over his recent comment.

In a strongly worded statement, Momodu who is also a member of the Atiku-Okowa presidential council said Keyamo needs "urgent deliverance from your present giddiness".

His statement comes after the lawyer said Dele Momodu was only after Atiku Abubakar’s money describing him as "a miserable fellow that overrated himself but crashed like a wingless bird from a futile presidential ambition".

Momodu and Keyamo have been at each others throats after the former said in an interview on Channels TV that Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a potential dictator.

He said in the interview aired on Tuesday, October 25 that “he (Tinubu) is the only governor I know who had two deputy governors and they both got into trouble.”

“I’m inferring dictatorship nothing else. I will never support dictatorship. I suffered under dictatorship, I was in detention, and exile for three years.”

He later called Festus Keyamo, an attack dog who likes to yell. He added: "The moment they gave him this job of a minister, a minister where he has been less than competent, where everything is in shambles.”

Dear Festus, once again I'm compelled to respond to your diatribe against my person just because I critiqued the manifesto of your Presidential candidate, Chief Bola Tinubu.

I will only state the following for the records:

You and I never interacted much other than on occasions when you needed free publicity as always and would do anything for attention. There was the occasion when you had a controversial battle with your date and I called to appeal to you to do the needful. I also called on you at your office to congratulate you on the attainment of your Senior Advocate of Nigeria status. On all occasions, you accorded me the respect that I earned and deserve.

You will recall that you practically photobombed yourself into our picture the day I walked into Major General Muhammadu Buhari's apartment in London because it was an opportunity for you to trend. You're a media creation and we supplied you the oxygen regularly.

Let me note that unlike you, I was not desperate for any appointment and so did not join APC when I humbly supported Buhari. There was never a time I discussed APC with you, when I had direct access to your Bosses. I discovered the rudderlessness of APC government early enough and promptly, and publicly, apologized to Nigerians for my past support.

History would forever record my modest contribution to that blistering campaign for which my impact was considered significant.

On Governor Akinwumi Ambode, he had so much to offer and showcase to the world and I was happy to celebrate him amongst the pantheon of great African leaders with remarkable infrastructure projects, in the league of President John Mahama and Governor Nyesom Wike. Ovation International has remained consistent with this great tradition. Our job is too serious and very different from that of a busybody Lawyer who jumps into every case just for hype.

I noticed your rapid deterioration since you took on this job of Junior Minister in a Ministry bedevilled with so much confusion. You need urgent deliverance from your present giddiness and I would gladly oblige you the services of an exorcist...

Your Brother,

Dele Momodu
