He likewise condemned the view that anybody close to the APC leader however working against his governmental ambition is a traitor.

The Presidential aide even more stated that Tinubu stays his leader and he would permanently treasure him and the contributions he made to his organisation throughout the fight against the military.

He included that he wants Tinubu well, however will not support his presidential aspiration and vote for him in the forthcoming primary of the party.

Ojudu composed, “I have seen a statement made by me, many years ago, to commemorate the 60th birthday anniversary of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu making the rounds. Yes, I did make that declaration. And more of such will can be found in my autobiography. We, together, have seen excellent days and bad days.

“I and Bola Tinubu have actually come a long method and we have actually been there for each other. Let no one usage my recognition of his good deeds and my rejection not to support him in his quote for the Nigeria presidency to represent me as a betrayer.

“Tinubu remains my leader and I will permanently treasure him and the contributions he made to my Organisation throughout our fight against the armed force.

“He nevertheless knows I do not follow the herd. I make my choices based upon extremely rigid parameters. He will inform you I am really Independent in my actions and ways.

“As a third-year college student, my father selected to be in NPN. I never considered the reality that he fed me and paid my school fees to join him in a party I disliked. I went to UPN and became a youth leader.

“Tinubu will inform you that whatever and whoever Ojudu is committed to being in for 100 percent dedication. Factors I did rather face torture and possible death in General Sani Abacha’s detention than reveal specific things they desired me to reveal about him.

“We were currently made before satisfying him and in the reason for relating, we offered one another a helping hand. As far back as 1992 when I familiarized him I was currently among the editors of a popular news magazine with an excellent standing too in the civil society. When our billionaire publisher (Chief MKO Abiola) requested I and my coworkers apologize to General Ibrahim Babangida over a story crucial of the regime, I strolled out of my task. That was 1992.

“When I left that task, Chief Gani Fawehinmi, a guy whom I was indebted to significantly (provided me a scholarship in my school days together with King Sunny Ade) invested in my publishing platform (The News, publisher of PM news). The same one that was consequential in the fight to bring democracy back to Nigeria.

“At the conclusion of that struggle, Chief Fawehinmi insisted we seat out politics. Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu disagreed with this concept, and I did. Against an apparent choice to blind loyalty, I went along with Senator Tinubu even serving severally in critical roles as he assumed the Governorship position. My actions outraged Chief Gani so much he asked that I repay his financial investments. Think what? I gladly did.

“So if my principled position against NPN, against IBB and against “Siddon look” was not a betrayal of my father, Chief MKO Abiola and Chief Gani Fawehinmi respectively, why would my principled stance against our leader present aspiration be.?

“So, on this matter of 2023 I wish him well but I can not in great conscience provide him my assistance or cast my vote for him in the coming primary. It is my right. I am above 60 years of age for God sake. I practically passed away seeking these inalienable democratic rights, held up in detention and severally tortured. Your god is not my god.”
