Publisher of the Ovation magazine and a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, Otunba Dele Momodu on Thursday said he prefers to remain in opposition against President Bola Tinubu, after the supreme court ruled in his favour.
The apex court has ruled that Tinubu won the February 25 presidential poll, dismissing the appeals filed by the candidate of the PDP, Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party’s counterpart, Peter Obi.
Making his response known via his X handle on Thursday, Momodu, who was head of media campaign of the Atiku organisation, said those who wish to join Tinubu’s government are free to exercise their free choices, adding that it is noble to remain with one’s choice.
He wrote, “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…” Momodu’s tweet came moments after former President Buhari asked the PDP and other opposition elements to join hands in building the country.
