Dele Momodu said in an interview with Chude Jideonwo that he admired the personality  of President Buhari but not his politics.

Momodu claimed that Nigeria is in a mess today because Nigerians find it difficult to divorce themselves from career politicians, claiming that he just reshared Buhari’s images.

He said;

“I actually like the man personally but his politics, no way.

“I didn’t sell Buhari to you. All I did was post his pictures. There is no way anyone can say, I said you must go and vote for Buhari,” he said.

“The mess in Nigeria today is because Nigerians find it difficult to detach themselves from career politicians.

“But Nigeria cannot continue in this madness. Why we lack progress is because we are too embittered, too enraged it is unbelievable.”

He also revealed that while he and his colleagues were in their office space at Canary Wharf in London after fleeing from Sani Abacha’s military rule, a bomb blast stunned him and his staff.

He added: “So we got an office and second-hand furniture. So we decided to get a bottle of cognac and celebrate because we got an office not minding how we were going to pay printers.

“Then boom! There was a bomb next to our building. A massive explosion with over 100 houses blown apart.

“We started running, and I started shouting Abacha! Abacha!.

“I thought Abacha had discovered where I was. So we ran, and we saw police dogs everywhere. Apparently, they had evacuated the area, and we didn’t know because we were busy celebrating.

“But we were lucky the building was bombproof, and our building was able to withstand the impact.”
