President Bola Tinubu has dismissed insinuations that his administration is pushing Nigeria toward a one-party state, insisting that the All Progressives Congress remains a political platform open to all Nigerians, including members of opposition parties.
Speaking during a special joint session of the National Assembly on Thursday to mark Democracy Day, President Tinubu stressed that the APC is not afraid of internal or external competition and will continue to welcome defectors from other political parties.
“You are all welcome to the progressive fold. Nobody should close the door. Political parties fearful of members leaving may be better served by examining their internal processes and affairs, rather than fearfully conjuring up demons that do not exist,”
Mr President made the statement amidst growing concern that the country is gradually turning into a one-party system of government as numerous political leaders are decamping to the ruling party
