Dele Momodu, an ally of Atiku Abubakar, has congratulated President Bola Tinubu on his victory at the tribunal.
The tribunal threw out cases brought before it by Atiku (PDP) and Peter Obi (Labour Party) against Tinubu’s victory at the 2023 presidential election.
Politics Nigeria reports that Momodu served as director of Atiku’s strategic communications during the campaigns.
In a photo post of X (Twitter) hours after the tribunal judgement, the PDP chieftain and media mogul said:
“All the countries we all wish to run to were made better through the huge sacrifices and excruciating pains of some opposition leaders. If it is about convenience, many of us would easily join any government in power but we must set new standards for our nation and kick against electoral malpractices.
“For me, it has nothing to do with who won or who lost but about the shambolic electoral process… It is my personal opinion and I stand by it. It would have been more convenient to defend my friend and Big Brother, but that’s not who I’m. It is a matter of principle.”
