Dele Momodu Faults Ortom For Labeling Atiku “Agent Of Miyetti Allah”

The Director of Strategic Communications for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu, has criticised Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state for allegedly referring to PDP presidential candidate Abubakar Atiku as an “agent of Miyetti-Allah.”

This claim was made by Momodu in response to Ortom’s remark on Atiku and Miyetti Allah in Benue on Tuesday’s Politics Today on Channels Television.

He said, “To label him an agent of Miyetti-Allah, that’s wrong.” He can say anything about Atiku Abubakar, but to call him an agent of Miyetti Allah, I disagree vehemently with that.

If you don’t want to support a man, It’s very easy to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it. But it is wrong to disparage a man who has served his country meritoriously, who has done everything he could for every part of his country.

But because you are playing politics because you disagree with him, then you use such weighty words against him. Well, there’s always another time.

I am telling you that even Governor Wike, who is supposed to be the angriest among them because he participated in our primaries, has not used such words against Atiku Abubakar,” he added.
