Meanwhile, renowned journalist and publisher, Ovation Magazine International, Chief Dele Momodu has ascribed Nigeria’s current challenges to bad leadership.

Momodu who was appealing to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP to allow him to take up the party’s 2023 presidential ticket, said he stands a good chance of becoming Nigeria’s next leader if supported by popular musicians like Davido, Wizkid, Burnaboy and Olamide.

Naija News understands that Momodu submitted on Thursday morning when he appeared on Channels TV Sunrise Daily.

Momodu, who was fielding questions on why many Nigerian youths don’t vote during general elections, said the present generation were brought up to believe that nothing good can come out of Nigeria.
