President Bola Tinubu asked members of the opposition to lick the wound and stopped blaming him for alleged incompetence in managing the party’s affairs.
The president spoke through a statement issued by his spokesman Bayo Onanuga, who wanted to know that when some members of the ruling party defected, all the progressive congresses, such as the former governor of Kaduna, the former governor of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, should celebrate the Social Democratic Party and the opposition of some people, to celebrate the party.
The statement, titled: “Democracy is powerful and alive in Nigeria, ignoring the alarmist”, read in part
“We have read the shocking claims of heartbreaking opposition figures, some partisan human rights crusaders and emergency defenders of democracy, who are defectors of the main members of the opposition in the rule of all progressive Congress.
Akwa Ibom Governor Umo Eno publicly announced public support for President Bola Tinubu, defection of the governor of the Delta State, the People’s Democratic Vice President in the previous election, of course, the Vice President of Ifeanyi Okowa, who made up the Vice President of Ifeanyi Okowa and the former BJP and its Vice President in vain constituted the Vice President of Islam, and listed the persons who counted it as Islam. okowa), and confusing its statistics on rebels and their principled campaigners.
While the opposition factor is heartbroken by the failure of their legendary major leagues to gain appeal, we find that they resort to false allegations peddling a one-party state against President Bola Tinubu, who is working to reverse our nation’s economic misfortune for decades.
Contrary to false claims in circulation propaganda materials across mainstream and social media, democracy is not threatened in Nigeria. The allegations that the government is moving towards authoritarianism are groundless and exaggerated.
We must add that none of the policies, official actions or directives of the presidency attempt to “dismantle democracy” or “weak the opposition or build a partisan state”. The allegations of bribery, extortion and weaponization of state institutions only exist in idle ideas of politicians and their agents, who are in designated opposition roles and are fishing for scapegoats. ”
The statement reads further
“The opposition cannot blame President Tinubu and the poor organizations that manage the APC, discipline and manage their own affairs. Organizing or strengthening the work of the opposition is certainly not part of President Tinob’s work.
We find it strange that those defectors celebrating former Governor Mallam Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State are composed of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and a regional grand coalition whose sole purpose is to defeat President Tinubu in 2027 in the 2027 election, a challenger, and a Crocodile crocodile, sent out Crocodile, a so mean person, a dispatcher, a dispatcher.
Although later democratic defenders did not raise anxiety with the displeased politicians, they stripped an anti-Tinubu, opposition to the APC coalition along dangerous regional lines, and soon attributed the political shift in some states to “bribery, brhackebrymail and Coercion” without any evidence before INEC even shook the whistle of party politics.
Without any ambiguity, freedom of association, freedom of speech and freedom of choice are part of the precious democratic ideal. Democracy is threatened when politicians and citizens are unable to join any association or party of their choice, or to express their views publicly.
Those who oppose the Tinubu government should understand that they can send irony to the government without fear of it because we have practiced a prosperous democracy.
When opposition politicians and their collaborators desire in the “human rights” movement that the presidential party should explode, it is a hypocritical written so that they can gain an electoral advantage and cry when their wishes don’t come true.
We would like to point out that democracy is not threatened or destroyed simply because politicians exercise their right to freedom of association.
Nigerians moved to APC and said support for Tinubu was free will because people believed that the reforms implemented were in line with Nigerians and the unborn generation.
For these urgent defenders of democracy, this is a serious damage to democracy to legitimize the political choices of some Nigerians while insisting on the choices of others to form a coalition against Tinubu and APC. ”
The statement said that under President Tinob’s leadership, democracy is strong and the multi-party democratic system will continue to be unhindered.
“His government remains firmly committed to upholding and strengthening the Democratic Foundation where our Fourth Republic is located since 1999. The change of party affiliation among politicians is not new to Nigeria.
Under Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, President Tinob and the National Working Committee of the U.S. National Working Committee deserves praise, making the ruling party considerable and attractive to all Nigerians willing to participate in the democratic process.
President Tinob is a claimed Democrat and a firm belief in multi-party democracy. His political activism and the Democratic Party were a force to defeat the current president in galvanizing and strengthening the opposition platform, and the ruling party at the time proved his credibility as a tested defender of multi-party democracy. ”
It urges all Nigerians to work with the government to protect democracy by respecting the choices of the people and giving alarmers, who draw narratives from the novel, a wide berth.
