I prefer to remain in opposition, says Dele Momodu

The Director of Strategic Communications for the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Dele Momodu has stated that he prefers to remain in opposition as he has been in the past 40 years.
Momodu made the cryptic message after the Supreme Court upheld President Tinubu’s election victory.
He, however, noted that those who want or wish to join the ruling government for “patriotic” reasons are free to do so.
Momodu, in a post shared via his handle, @DeleMomodu, on X (formerly Twitter) said: “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…”
He added: “The beauty of going to court by aggrieved parties is not always about winning but by deepening our Democratic ideals and enriching our Legal System. What is left now is the academic exercise.
“The appellants have exercised their fundamental human rights and must be congratulated…”
