Nigerian Election: Dele Momodu urges Atiku to call Buhari and congratulate him

Publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu on Tuesday charged the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to call President Muhammadu Buhari and congratulate him.

Momodu gave the charge apparently referring to the ongoing announcement of last Saturday’s presidential results by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

From the results so far announced by INEC, President Muhammadu Buhari is currently leading Atiku Abubakar.

However, the media mogul said the former vice president has more to gain by calling Buhari.

In a series of tweets, Momodu wrote: “My dear WAZIRIN, as a believer, you are aware that only God can give or take power. You’ve written your name in gold. Do not wait a minute longer. Please, pick that phone and call President Muhammadu Buhari. You have much more to gain Sir… Pass on the burden!

“My dear WAZIRIN, please confound the world by rising up to accept this painful and excruciating development. God has been most kind to you and your family. Your children are well educated and disciplined. Despite the campaign of calumny against you, you rose stoutly in battle…

“My dear WAZIRIN, every normal human being would feel deeply hurt with the level of garrison operations we recently witnessed. But all wounds ultimately heal, if properly treated. I want you to place Nigeria above every other consideration, no matter how much you feel cheated…

“My dear WAZIRIN, to cut a long tale short, many lives have been wasted, many citizens have been brutally injured, and the results have virtually been declared, and the direction is all too obvious. And this is where you come in, as tempers rise, left, right and centre.”
