Out of respect for Traditional Rulers and Senior Citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who have intervened, as an Otonolu, I will cease hostilities on the matter of Mr Dele Momodu.
However, should he revert to type and resume maligning the reputation of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, the ceasefire will be revoked, and he will rue the day!
For the avoidance of doubt, let it be known that I will not sit idly while a man who should know better chooses the occasion of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's State Visit to the United Kingdom, which is Nigeria's biggest diplomatic triumph in thirty-seven years, to go on a globally watched programme to liken the Head of State of the Nigerian nation to a known murderer and kleptocrat like the despot, General Sani Abacha.
Let it be known by the general public that while it is the Constitutional duty of the Nigerian Armed Forces to protect the territorial integrity of Nigeria, it is the Constitutional responsibility of the Diplomatic Corps to protect the reputational integrity of the Nigerian nation and its Head of State from character assassination.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was invited by His Royal Majesty, King Charles III, precisely because he is a thoroughbred democrat and an astute economist, who has turned around the political and economic fortunes of Nigeria in record time, moving us from a nation that had suffered two recessions in the last ten years, to one that, under President Tinubu, became the sixth-largest contributor to global GDP growth in 2025, a fact celebrated by Elon Musk, the world's richest man.
The British Monarch further invited our President for a State Visit because of the steady social and commercial progress that has been achieved in Nigeria under President Tinubu, who has added $67 billion to Nigeria's GDP, moving us from a ₦269.29 trillion economy on May 29, 2023, when he became President, to ₦372.8 trillion today.
It will thus amount to dereliction of duty on my part to remain askance as such a carefully and deliberately built reputation is threatened by disgruntled elements within society who do not know the difference between a liberator and a dictator, and therefore abuse freedom of speech in such a manner that could affect the inflow of Foreign Direct Investment into Nigeria.
