Veteran journalist, Dele Momodu, has apologised to presidential aspirant, Rotimi Amaechi, over an earlier statement.
He issued the apology on 𝕏 in response to recent claims that he had insulted the former minister.
During an interview, Amaechi criticised former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, for saying he does not support zoning.
Amaechi conveyed his belief that he would secure the African Democratic Congress (ADC) nomination, dismissing the idea of a consensus
However, speaking during an appearance on Channels Television, Momodu advised the former governor to ‘cool his temper’.
He said, “Mr. Amaechi, in name of the almighty God, should please cool his temper.
“A potential presidential candidate and possible president of Nigeria must watch his temper and temperament and doesn’t need to attack Atiku”.
Momodu’s response was also seen as abusive by Amaechi and his camp.
Sharing different pictures of himself and Amaechi, Momodu wrote, “My dear friend and brother, The Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, I did not abuse you, please. I only pleaded with you not to insult Atiku, a perfect gentleman who, despite the age gap, continues to respect all of us. You know I’m as frank as you are and only spoke candidly the way true friends must speak to each other… Love and respect always…”
