Reuben Abati Vs. Dele Momodu
By Dele Momodu and Reuben Abati
Remember Reuben - By Dele Momodu
“Not every journalist begins his career with an entrée in the nature of a bang. Journalistic careers tend to take a long, and windy route of much obscurity and misfortune, rejection and despair, and then, slowly, and accidentally, the career takes an upswing and the journalist is made and born…Exceptions to this rule are rare…Dele Momodu whose book you are holding…qualify as one of such exceptions.
“Momodu has proven to be one of those over-subscribed men who appear to be in all places at all times and capable of doing anything to the best of their abilities…”
That was my friend and brother, Dr Reuben Abati, Ph.D, writing an introduction to my unpublished book, DELE MOMODU, PENDULUM: essays, letters and columns, in 1997, while I was in exile in London, one clear year before Dr Goodluck Jonathan joined politics. As I remember the Reuben of those days, I weep for Nigeria. I weep because I never imagined in my wildest dream that a day would come when Reuben, our own Reuben, would be used as an attack dog, by people who are totally disconnected from reality.
Reuben remains for me one of the finest products of journalism, a man I foolishly thought would add some finesse to the lacklustre occupiers of Aso Rock Presidential Villa. But the Reuben I see today is a shadow, a pitiable sight, of the old Reuben, who has confirmed the adage that a goat that keeps the company of dogs would eventually become a dog. How else can I describe Reuben’s crass crudity in his response to my last article, In Search of A Radical President? While I grant him the right of reply, it was cruel to have brought my dear and innocent wife, Mobolaji, into the whitewash of his boss.
I was aware he was under fire from everyone. His friends are grumbling aloud that this is not the Reuben they used to know. There are also rumblings from his employers that he was not pulling his weight and I have been one of his sympathisers. His employers are suspecting that he’s worried for his battered reputation, and thinking he might dump them if the heat gets too hot. They need not worry because our friend has crossed the Rubicon. He’s at a point of no return.
But why would Reuben ever drag my wife (a woman who had fed us all in our poverty-stricken days) in the mud? This is the only reason I’m responding to his diatribe. He knows in his heart that Nigerians are too smart to accept his assessment of Goodluck Jonathan. I expected a journalist and lawyer of his standing to check his facts but he was in a hurry to cast aspersions on my wife by subscribing to the rumour that she did not vote for me on election-day. Channels Television and BISCON Tv accompanied us to the voting centres and can bear witness to what happened that day.
My wife and I voted in different Wards within the same school. Why won’t a wife I married properly vote for me?
Beyond that, INEC recorded over 26,000 votes for me nationwide despite not having unrestricted access to public funds like Dr Abati’s boss. I would want Reuben to tell the world if indeed he and his two wives voted for President Jonathan. I doubt it, unless he was a fake critic. I can’t think of Obama’s spokesman bringing the wife of a journalist into an argument. Is this what power does to otherwise sensible men? How would posterity remember Reuben? I guess: A man who voluntarily set fire to everything he ever wrote. Shame!
Jonathan: A Radical President By Reuben Abati
I have always regarded Dele Momodu as a man of very passionate convictions, but lately, I have begun to wonder about the motives that drive his recent contributions to the public discussion of the state of our nation.
I started to worry when he suddenly decided he wanted to be President of Nigeria. A day after D-Day, the joke on Twitter, Facebook and online (the essential scourge of our time) was that Dele Momodu got only one vote at the polling booth in his ward, and that even his wife who followed him to the polling booth voted for someone else - Goodluck Jonathan, most probably. But he has trudged on since then like a man of faith, proclaiming his undying faith in Nigeria.
Dele Momodu has made it clear since then that he is very disenchanted with President Goodluck Jonathan. I have also noticed a strange and inexplicable streak of extreme radicalism in his ThisDay column in recent times, and I have had cause to call him to express my amazement. He is ordinarily right of centre, but he is gradually shifting to far left of centre. I confess to not being very certain about what could have caused this sudden shift to extremism by Bob Dee, but frustration, anger, mischief, misinformation, partisanship, and expediency have been suggested.
He fully advertised his “apostasy” in his piece titled “In Search of A Radical President” (Saturday, January 28). What was missing in that fallacy-laden analysis, as in most criticisms of President Jonathan, is a proper contextualization and deconstruction of the current Presidency. Momodu says the “fad in government today in Nigerian government circles is to label every critic as an enemy of government”. But there are truths and there are fallacies. What needs be noted is that President Jonathan does not consider any critic of his administration, an enemy.
President Jonathan, it must be remembered, signed the Freedom of Information Bill into law, whereas at least two Presidents before him demurred on the same issue. During the “removal of fuel subsidy” protests, the President repeatedly acknowledged the average Nigerian’s right to protest. He publicly declared that he is prepared to take unpopular decisions in the long term interest of Nigerians, at the risk of being abused in the short-term. The President’s conviction is that every Nigerian should enjoy the right to know, and the right to differ, and that Nigeria is a collective enterprise. He is a man who truly believes in the rule of law and the sovereignty of Nigeria.
However, when people talk about the disintegration of Nigeria, or regime change, it certainly bothers President Jonathan who rightly insists that he will not preside over a Nigeria that will disintegrate. The problematic in Momodu’s analysis is thus to be thrown back at its source. The true enemies of our country are the anarchists who insist that Nigerian must disintegrate. The real enemies of the Nigerian project are those who for opportunistic reasons seem to have resolved that they will not allow the present administration to have a moment of peace. Democracy yes; but anarchism, no. Where exactly does Momodu stand?
I go to the second level of Momodu’s very apparent discontent. This goes back to the circumstances of President Jonathan’s emergence as President: how he was the underdog without shoes that nobody gave a chance, the man that everyone including Professor Wole Soyinka, Pastor Tunde Bakare, the Save Nigeria Group and our very own Dele Momodu helped all the way to the throne, and now that he is there, he no longer remembers those who made him king! As Momodu puts it: “…we expected to see a President full of gratitude to man and God. We had hoped to have a radical President who would use his exalted position to correct the ills of our nation and heal our wounds…”
The sub-text of Momodu’s assertion is that too many people think Dr. Jonathan is President because of their own personal sacrifices, and Momodu makes that clear. And he is not alone. The attendant verbiage is like this: we fought for him to be President, when the Yar’Adua cabal did not want him; and he doesn’t seem to be showing us enough gratitude. Or the other face of it: he is using our term; if Yar’Adua had not died, he would not be President now. Or as the royalists put it: where is he coming from? How did we allow a minority to emerge as President?
Of course, the truth is that the essential Jonathan persona has not changed in any negative way since he assumed the mantle of national leadership. The President remains a perfect embodiment of humility who fully appreciates that it is a great privilege to be entrusted with the leadership of our great nation. He has certainly not forgotten the millions of ordinary Nigerians who voted to elect him and he constantly proclaims that God has been very kind to him. Nobody in Nigerian history has been so significantly historic, given the awakening of his emergence and its illustrative dimensions.
But he asks for one favour: the “shoe-givers” should allow him to walk with the shoes and effectively implement his agenda for national transformation. President Jonathan sincerely wants to transform Nigeria. They should allow him to do so. The most ardent critics have spoken about declining goodwill and declining legitimacy. The latter is fictitious because the legitimacy is real and incontrovertible; the former is contrived, and can only be redressed by the learning of appropriate lessons on both sides. President Jonathan has a four-year tenure; those who want his position should wait till the next election to stake their claims, and not seek to sabotage Nigeria for selfish reasons. Those are the enemies Dele Momodu should worry about.
He says “a true radical”, according to Abiola, is “a man who was ready to put his personal comfort at risk.” That is precisely what President Jonathan is doing. The Presidency of Nigeria is a difficult assignment: it is not easy to lead such elite “shoe-givers” mentioned by Dele Momodu. He has however, offered “a few tips free of charge” to make the task easier, albeit he is mostly preaching to the already converted. He says President Jonathan must cut budget and slash all salaries and allowances of public officers by at least 50 per cent. But that advice is belated and not very original. The President is already doing that and more to redirect national resources away from wasteful and unproductive expenditure to critical areas of national need such as power supply, infrastructure, education, healthcare, agricultural development and employment generation.
I give a personal testimony: before my arrival at this post, the Nigerian President used to travel abroad with a retinue of independent journalists. That has been slashed to just three under Jonathan and two weeks ago, I was asked to go and reduce that figure by 25%. I still can’t figure out the calculation: 25% of 3, translated into individual representation!
Dele Momodu adds that the President: “must stop all frivolous contracts and concentrate on revamping our disgraceful infrastructure”. Sir, President Jonathan is already doing so too. It may have escaped your notice, but he set up a high-powered committee months ago to review all contracts and on-going projects, and he is diligently implementing the recommendations of that committee. I was there when that committee first presented its report. It was a comment on Nigeria. President Jonathan has inherited projects that were awarded over 50 years ago, and that are still in progress! I have never seen him so incensed. Momodu should ask: Is this President being fought by “enemies” because he resolved publicly to change the order of things?
Momodu also wrote that “…Our ragtag police are begging for serious attention.” President Jonathan has said that much and has set up a Special Committee to do just that. Momodu says: “The Presidential Villa need not be a Saudi palace.” As anyone who has been to Saudi Arabia knows, it certainly is not. Momodu also says “All foreign travels must be kept to the most essential ones as determined by the Foreign Ministry.” Mr. President already said so, two weeks ago in a national broadcast and has since acted accordingly. “The biggest task before our President is how to cut waste and increase revenue at all levels,” Momodu adds. That is precisely what Mr. President is doing. In addition, he is fighting corruption, tackling Boko Haram, encouraging investment and the diversification of the economy.
Dele Momodu complains that “we are spending trillions of Naira every year without any visible progress.” Progress is being made, and President Jonathan is as much in a hurry as every Nigerian. President Jonathan understands the great historical opportunity that he has to make a difference, and he is not relying on luck but hard-work, diligence and dedication as well as the continued support of all truly patriotic Nigerians.

Now it is in the public domain that Dele Momodu,s wife did not vote for her husband in her ward in the last Presidential election. This free public Information is courtesy of Ruben Abati
We are also now aware that Ruben Abati, is the darling hubby to 2 wives. Information is courtesy of Dele Momodu. Do not say i told you. Little wonder this our ex friend Abati had to abandorn the progressive in search of butter for his bread. It is not easy to maintain two wives on salary writing for Guardian newspaper. This Abati self laboured to build a name over a period of time and destroyed the name overnight.
Lord have mercy. Wonders shall not end.

Bob Dee, what will you do if you were to be in the shoes of Dr Abati? Do you think you would have performed better? Are you jealous or envious of the fact Dr Abati is in power.
The way insults are been thrown at Abati makes me sick and wonder where our generation is heading to
Jonathan pays Abati to stop writing
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on February 5, 2012 - 14:19.
Many may not know that as dumb as Goodluck Jonathan looks, he seems to be the smartest in the game of deceit. Rueben Abati was not employed because they want him to defend the government, Abati was employed to take him away from his constituency. What Jonathan employed was Abati's columns in the Guardian and his contributions to public discource like Patito Gang and occassional features on Channels TV and other media. Abati has used his columns in the Guardian to win the hearts of Nigerian youths that want the country to be great and no columnist in the history of Nigeria has weilded such influence. It is the influence that Jonathan bought and this gives Jonathan more liverage than whatever Abati writes for him as spokesman. It is sad to wittness a betrayal of this magnitude from Abati.

I have often pleaded with you to go and see a VET instead of a medical doctor. Because u seem to be an animal in human shape. Your thoughts dont work well in environments populated by humans. How can GEJ ever call or support the appeal by some patriotic 9jas for us to go our separate ways. He was never elected because the south presented him as their consensus candidate. As Ciroma did with Atiku and Buhari in the North. GEJ came to unite the country and not to split her along zonal tribal lines. That does not stop me, from advocating for us to go our separate ways. Not because of the oil wells. But I am now sure that the chances of the average man or woman from the SS, being accepted as a member of the human family in 9ja and not seen as 7th class citizen by the thieving elites is very slim. Look at Dele Momodu, a minority man who grew up in the West, and was offered a chance to grow by Abiola, now abusing GEJ with his 20,000 votes. Where are the seats he won for late Gani in lagos

EVERYONE KNOWS HIS DISLIKE FOR THE NORTHNERS AND HE IS EMPLOYED DO THE DIRTY JOB.

FOR DELE MOMODU I SYPHATIZED WITH YOU AND YOUR WIFE FOR THE ACT OF THE FELLOW YOU HAVE ONCE FED.....IN THE FINAL ANALYSIS I AM BOLD TO SAY THAT GOODLUCK JONATHAN IS NOT WHOM ABATI DESCRIBED IN HIS REPLY TO DELE MOMODU, I CAN TELL YOU THAT GEJ IS CLUELESS AND NOT HAVING THE GOOD CHARACTER OF A RADICAL.

You are very correct, ever since I used to see Abati dozing off at the old kingsize , I wondered what kind of man writes all these articles, yet he drinks and dozes off at the table. When he accepted the appointment, I knew all he will be doing in Aso rock is to drink more beer and possibly marry a new wife. Abati is a typical Nigerian

Fela was right when he referred to democracy as crazy demon. When you see a Nigerian who pretends to be a democrat, even adopting democracy as a pet name, you need to "shine youe eyes" especially when this so called democrat is intolerant of opposing views in a microscopic forum such as S/R.
I did not find "hypocrit" in the dictionary but found the correct spelling as hypocrite. When a crazy demon then uses "hypocrit" several times in his commentary and still has the effrontery to point an accusing finger at others, the reasonable question to ask this demon is - who are your rest of four fingers pointed at? Who is the real fool afterall Ifeanyi?

The true enemies of our country are those who refuse to declare their assets as stipulated in the Constitution.
One sure way to transform Nigeria is to have the president declare his assets as demanded by the Constitution.
Brother Jonathan should put his personal comfort at risk by declaring his assets.

Dr Ruben Abati is a polygamous man, so he has the 'capacity' to promise and withdraw affection at will! The same is true for all his writings in previous years. They do not really represent who he is. He was writing to get noticed and he succeded. He can and will defintely change his mind before or after the tenure of his boss runs out or he will remain in Abuja with a permanently changed mind to feed his large and demanding family. A certain cream polished governor from the east had his cosmetic face darkened and swollen from his 'holiday' in Kirikiri. History is full of stories of how honeymoons of power turn to beehives of disgrace to the careless!

Could Dele Momodu have perfomed better than Reuben Abati as presidential spokesman? No. Competence, qualification, experience and personal character shows Reuben is a better candidate. Reuben has not changed, it is the structure on ground that defines a spokesman direction. Many may argue that Reuben has the option to stay or resign, but why should he resign? His replacement wont do a better job or perform magic. Yes, he glosses over errors and incompetence and even create nuances to defend presidency. could Dele Momodu have done better? No. We remember his struggle for MKO (where is bread was buttered) and not for better Nigeria as he will make many to believe.

Submitted by Ifeanyi-Democracy 4ever (not verified) on February 4, 2012 - 22:47.
Many of the FOOLS criticising Abati are the same unemployed Nigerians moving from one office to another in search of jobs. Some are underemployed and are in search of better paying jobs. Yet these FOOLS shameless criticise Reuben Abati for working as the president's spokesperson. This is nothing but pure HYPOCRISY. When has it become a sin to work for govt? When has it become atrocious to serve ones fathers land? If we all agree Nigeria is in a mess, Is it not we Nigerians that'll fix things? Will we employ foreigners to fix things? What is gain of 'good' people staying away from govt? All those attacking Reuben Abati are hypocrits and FOOLS. Even persons who have failed themselves and their families also find their voice in calling on Abati to quit his job. Persons who cannot construct a correct sentence,with their comments full of wrong spellings, have also learnt to call GEJ clueless, incompetent,etc. Abati should ignore all the hypocrits on this forum and face his job.
