Dele Momodu, journalist and publisher of Ovation Magazine, says he never asked anyone to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari and did not campaign for his presidency.
Momodu said this in an interview with Chude Jideonwo.
Speaking on the Buhari government, he said: “I actually like the man personally but his politics, no way”.
He also denied allegations that he promoted Buhari’s campaign for the presidency.
“I didn’t sell Buhari to you. All I did was post his pictures. There is no way anyone can say, I said you must go and vote for Buhari,” he said.
“The mess in Nigeria today is because Nigerians find it difficult to detach themselves from career politicians.
“But Nigeria cannot continue in this madness. Why we lack progress is because we are too embittered, too enraged it is unbelievable.”
Momodu, who fled from the government of Sani Abacha, former military head of state, said he had just secured an office space close to the Canary Wharf in London for his magazine when a blast happened.
