*BY AYOOADE POPOOLA\/POLITICAL Correspondent, Abeokuta<\/b><\/p>\n

HE is reputed to be a journalist of highest repute who suffers no time in waste of word. DELE MOMODU is a traditional chieftaincy title holder, publisher of Ovation Media Group whose eyes are set on making Nigeria \u2018free from corruption\u2019, producing great leadership in its stead. This media personality has made it clear that no other political candidate is more qualified than him to succeed the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari at the end of the tenure.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Peoples Democratic Party presidential aspirant has boasted that he is confident that he would beat other aspirants including former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, former Senate President, Bukola Saraki and others to the party\u2019s ticket ahead of the 2023 election.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Momodu said this on Sunday while speaking with newsmen in Abeokuta, Ogun State, during the investiture of Rotarian \u2018Muyiwa Mathew Fajimi as the Charter President of the Rotary Club of Ibara GRA District 9110.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Presidential aspirant said he remains the best candidate to succeed the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari(retd.) because \u201che is fresh and untainted.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Momodu said, \u201cIt has nothing to do with the South, whether North or from the South, you have a Dele Momodu, who is coming fresh. He has never been in government, he has not been tainted by power. He is coming fresh. I am the only one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He however said finance is no longer Nigeria\u2019s challenge rather the political class who engage in \u201cwasteful spending.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Momodu noted that a lot of Nigerian politicians in government enjoy what they could not enjoy in their private capacity, thereby putting pressure on the nation\u2019s finances.<\/span><\/p>\n

He, therefore, called for an urgent cut in government\u2019s spending with a view to focusing on developmental projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said \u201cFinance is not a problem in Nigeria. It\u2019s about the determination of one leader to do what\u2019s right and one of the things we need to cut urgently is waste in government. A lot of Nigerian politicians in government enjoy what they could not enjoy in their private capacity. There is nothing I want to enjoy now that I have not enjoyed. I am coming there to work for legacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe moment you reduce how much you waste on Politicians, you will see that there will be money for development. There will be money for projects.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
