Following the affiation of the election of President Bola Tinubu by the seven-man justices of the Supreme Court led by John Inyang Okoro, the Director of Strategic Communications of the Atiku/Okowa Campaign, Chief Dele Momodu, has said he remains with the opposition party.
In a short statementhe shared on his social media handles, the veteran journalist said while some may wish to join the ruling party for ‘patriotic’ reasons, he prefers to remain with credible opposition as he has been in the last forty years.
A member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Momodu contested the presidential primaries of the party, which produced Atiku Abubakar as the party’s flag bearer.
Below is his statement:
“After all electoral processes have been completed and foreclosed, those who want/wish to join the ruling government, for “PATRIOTIC” reasons are welcome to do so, while those who prefer to remain in opposition are also free to exercise their fundamental rights. After all, there’s nothing “unpatriotic” about being in credible opposition.
On a personal note, I humbly prefer to remain in opposition as I have been in the past 40 years… GOD bless the Federal Republic of NIGERIA…”
