The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential aspirant on Saturday, January 15, said those handling the APC national leader's media are unimaginative and jejune in their campaigns.

Momodu in a statement shared on his Instagram page, noted that though he didn’t know who they were, but he could reasonably confirm that they had been fumbling too much by being so cheap

While taking a swipe at the unknown persons, the journalist turned politician described himself as the latest victim of the handlers.

The statment reads in part:

"An article I wrote two years ago about TINUBU has suddenly become a fresh endorsement in 2022. What chicanery is this? While I have tremendous respect for ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU, his handlers have no right to engage in pure mischief by abusing our relationship.
