I Have Lived In Exile, I Nearly Fell Into Depression – Momodu Replies Reno Omokri

A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain, Dele Momodu, has reacted to a statement by former presidential aide, Reno Omokri questioning his expertise on state matters.

Naija News reports that during an interview on TVC, Omokri stated that he wonders how a Yoruba graduate who runs an ‘Owambe magazine’ can be an expert on the Nigerian economy.

Momodu is a graduate of Yoruba Language and runs a society magazine called Ovation.

Responding to Omokri’s statement, via his X account, Momodu wrote, ‘’My dear Aburo, RENO, I will forever treasure your kind words… I’ve lived in exile before and appreciate how tough it can be, no matter how wealthy you’re. At one point, I nearly fell into depression. Not many people can understand. Pls, keep calm. Everything is gonna be alright, by God’s grace…

“You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers… I love you, unconditionally…:”

Speaking further, the PDP chieftain shared a birthday message from Omokri in 2023 where he described him (Momodu) as one of Nigeria’s finest.

“Happy birthday Aare Dele Momodu, one of Nigeria’s finest. What would Nigerian society be like without you? You bring a civilised air of bonhomie that cuts through region and religion, and now your social gravitas is doing the same thing in Ghana, a country I have just returned from and one where your name is on the lips of many of their elites for good. More positivity has been attracted to Nigeria through your existence than through some of the many embassies and consulates we maintain. And now, your offspring are walking down your well-trodden paths. It is with great joy that my family and I say happy birthday to you.” – RENO OMOKRI, MAY 17, 2023.‘’ the post read.
