“No One Is Indispensable”: Dele Momodu Warns Akpabio, Says Tinubu’s Inner Circle Is Shrinking

“No One Is Indispensable”: Dele Momodu Warns Akpabio, Says Tinubu’s Inner Circle Is Shrinking

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and media mogul, Dele Momodu, has raised alarm over the growing concentration of power within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), warning that recent developments signal that loyalty alone may no longer be enough to guarantee political survival under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a post shared on his verified Facebook page on Tuesday, Momodu cautioned Senate President Godswill Akpabio and others close to the president to tread carefully, describing the internal dynamics of the APC as volatile and increasingly ruthless.

Momodu drew attention to the resignation of Abdullahi Ganduje as APC National Chairman, describing it as a consequence of a shifting political strategy that discards allies once they’ve outlived their usefulness.

“Like all lackeys, his usefulness has expired,” Momodu said. “My friend Akpabio should beware.”

He also referenced rising speculation about the future of Vice President Kashim Shettima, stating that such political uncertainty is not new to Tinubu’s leadership style.

“What is happening to Vice President Shettima today is not new,” Momodu wrote. “Governor Ambode was the biggest casualty and Governor Sanwo-Olu only narrowly escaped recently.”

According to Momodu, this pattern of rotating allies is a familiar playbook from Tinubu’s tenure as Lagos State governor. He cited multiple deputy governors and high-ranking officials who were either removed or sidelined when their loyalty was no longer deemed beneficial.

“This current power structure is absolutely for Tinubu. No one should deceive themselves—no one is indispensable, and everyone is expendable when it becomes necessary,” he said.

Momodu wrapped up his commentary with a sharp critique of the political climate under Tinubu, alluding to a Machiavellian strategy that rewards compliance but offers no guarantees of permanence.

“The prince does not entertain competition. This is the season of Machiavelli. More victims will fall on the battlefield. No one is sacred,” he concluded.
