Dele Momodu to Atiku: Wazirin Adamawa, Pick That Phone and Call President Buhari Now With President Muhammadu Buhari seemingly unstoppable as results of last Saturday’s presidential vote keep tumbling in, Basorun Dele Momodu, the irrepressible publisher of Ovation International Magazine, and a staunch supporter of Atiku Abubakar, the People’s Democratic Party’s candidate, has urged the Wazirin Adamawa to call and congratulate the president.
Momodu, who set the social media on fire with his round-the-clock tweets in support of his preferred candidate, advised the former Vice President, Tuesday, to pick his phone and make that all-important call to the President.
Momodu made the appeal in a series of tweets, saying it was the best thing to do in the circumstance, going forward. The taste of the pudding, as they say, is in the eating.
We reproduce Momodu’s exact words below for your reading pleasure.

THE WAZIRIN ADAMAWA, PLEASE, SAVE NIGERIAMy dear Wazirin, accept my congratulations on an election decently fought by you. I’ve no doubt that you’re a true democrat by your composure and comportment. I was one of your volunteers from the distance like I did for BUHARI in 2015…

My dear WAZIRIN, I supported you for only one reason, I believe no government should be encouraged to have a second term if its performance in the first term is below average. I was neither a member of APC nor PDP but a firm believer in a virile opposition…

My dear WAZIRIN, you became my option after you won your ticket on the platform of PDP knowing from personal experience that only the top two party tickets have any chance of winning this Presidential race though I supported other younger candidates, morally and otherwise…

My dear WAZIRIN, my hope was for a level playing field for all candidates, young or old, but obviously that did not happen, even if no election can ever be perfect. Many Nigerians prayed and fasted and did whatever they could in the expectation that our democracy would deepen…

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…

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, 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, 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!
