Publisher of Ovation magazine, Dele Momodu has narrated how his media organization worked for the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
During an interview with Channels Television on Monday, Momodu made claims on cleaning the minister up and asserting that too much alcohol has affected Wike’s conduct in public and private life.
Momodu reacted to Wike’s criticism of opposition figures and questioned the minister’s fitness for public office.
“Mr Nyesom Wike benefited immensely from my talents and from the pedigree of the Ovation Media Group. We cleaned him up, You know they say sometimes you can take a man out of the bush, but you cannot take the bush out of the man. We worked on Wike and he was happy.
“Every morning, when I am in Portharcourt, he would ask me to come to his house. We made sure he dressed up properly. We even did a bit of speech therapy telling him how to speak to people. But he had one major problem. That major problem was too much alcohol. And he takes it as early as possible in the morning.”
“What I saw on display last Friday on your show showed a man absolutely soaked in esoteric spirits. A man who was on a different planet. He was no longer on our planet. Yes, I said it,” Momodu said.
