A former presidential aspirant and Chieftain of the PDP, Chief Dele Momodu has reacted to the judgement of the Supreme court which dismissed Atiku Abubakar’s appeal and affirmed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the valid winner of the 2023 presidential election.

According to the Vanguard, the Supreme court held that there was no merit in the appeal Atiku filed to nullify the election. The apex court also held that Atiku did not prove that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) did not substantially comply with provisions of the Electoral Act, in the conduct of the election.

But reacting to the development on his Twitter account, Dele Momodu congratulated the appellant for exercising their fundamental human rights by going to court.

He said, “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…”
