The chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu, has said that those making allegations that the opposition is behind President Donald Trump’s allegation of genocide against Christians in Nigeria have run out of ideas.
Momodu stated this in an interview on Channels Television on Friday.
Appearing on the breakfast show and answering questions, the publisher said;
“Look, my brother, anyone who sees opposition behind this is just being clear that they have run out of ideas.
“The opposition that is trying to put its act together now has time to go to Washington?
So anyone blaming the opposition — of course, everything in Nigeria, when it’s not APC, they blame the immediate predecessor, even a man who has gone to join his ancestors, former President Muhammadu Buhari.”
Last week, NEWSMAXNG reported that the Minister of the FCT, Nyesom Wike, accused the opposition of instigating Trump’s move to label the killings in Nigeria as Christian genocide, describing it as ‘politics taken too far.’
According to Wike in his interview, his father is a pastor, as well as Tinubu’s wife which makes it impossible for Christians to be persecuted in the country.
He had said; “It is very obvious, and I have said this. The problem we have today is Mr President’s own nature of politics. You can see the collapse of the opposition.
“It will be difficult for anybody. The opposition today has seen that no party is prepared to challenge the President returning to power.
“What do we do? Should we allow him to just go in like that without challenges? We must do something, and one of the things to do is bring up such a thing that will divide the country.”
However, Momodu in his interview, urged the Tinubu-led government to stop politicising the matter and confront reality.
He added; “If you know of a man called El-Buba in Jos, I’ve been to his church before. He has cried out that Christians are being targeted and wiped out.
“He never said Muslims aren’t being killed, but life has become so cheap that even when 100 people die, the president can still travel that night. No empathy, no sympathy. That’s what the opposition is talking about — and it has nothing to do with politics.”
