President Muhammadu Buhari’s social media aide, Lauretta Onochie after she criticised him over a scathing remark about the president Buhari.
Momodu described Lauretta Onochie as a troublesome lady and a scavenger.
Momodu was responding to an earlier attack on him by Onochie, Friday morning.
Onochie had attacked the politician for saying that Buhari’s administration has failed.
Mr Momodu had written on Friday in response to a Twitter user Chris Iyalla that he did not “bring Buhari” in 2015 and that he tried the next most electable candidate in the 2019 general elections after Buhari “failed”.
“I did not bring Buhari. I did what most reasonable Democrats would have done in the circumstance of PDP’s failure after 16 years in power by trying the next most electable candidate and when he failed tried the next, Atiku, and that is the essence and risk and flaw in Democracy!!”
Mrs Onochie reacted to his comments, saying:
“He (Buhari) ‘failed’ because he won’t dish out cash for photos that can easily be obtained on Instagram and other picture apps. Because #BabaNoDeyDrop, your ego-massaging, ostentatious and filthy-wealth-flaunting customers, can no longer afford you. Try Diversification!”
Displeased with her comments, the media mogul launched his attack.
He wrote:
“My attention has just been drawn to a reaction to one of my tweets from a troublesome lady called Lauretta, one of those scavengers who litter government offices in Nigeria who are given big official titles for decoration but actually have no access to their so-called bosses…
“Lauretta’s grouse is that I said I considered Buhari’s government a failure. Have I said anything new? From Arewa, to Igbo, to Yoruba groups, everyone has expressed same sentiments & what I would have expected was a simple list of Buhari’s achievements but she attacked my person.
Sharing pictures of his meetings with Buhari, Momodu asked Onochie where she was when he spent his “hard-earned money on Buhari’s campaign without asking for anything.”
“She went their usual route of cheap blackmail that ‘Buhari has failed because he’s not paying…’ us cash. Lauretta picked on a wrong customer once again. When a child buys a pair of shoes for his one-legged Dad, he should be ready to hear some true tales. I’m not a govt jobber!!”
“Since she’s never done any business in her life, she assumes we are all scavengers:
1. Your boss Buhari was my colleague in 2011 when we were both Presidential candidates
2. I spent my hard-earned money on Buhari’s campaign without asking for anything. Pls, where were you?”
