Dele Momodu vs. Wike: What’s Behind the ‘Money Miss Road’ Insult?
🗣️ What Dele Momodu Said
On July 3, 2025, Dele Momodu—veteran journalist, Ovation magazine publisher, and former PDP presidential aspirant—took to X (formerly Twitter) to unleash a stinging rebuke at FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, accusing him of being “uncouth” and “uncultured,” and even dubbing him “money miss road.”
The barbs were fired after Wike publicly dismissed Momodu, referring to him derisively as “a boy who ran for president and didn’t get a vote” during a press briefing, claiming he didn’t even remember his name afripost.ng+11newtelegraphng.com+11guardian.ng+11.
