One-Party State: We Didn’t Force Anyone To Join APC – Tinubu by Fareke(op): 10:13am On May 23, 2025

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has taunted those saying his administration is pushing Nigeria towards a one-party system, saying that you cannot blame people for their choice of association.

Speaking at the ongoing All Progressives Congress (APC) National summit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, the President said, “it is only one party that is ruling”.

"For those still contemplating bale out of their ship, the country is yours, hold on to it. For those talking about one party system. It is one party ruling and driving the aspiration of Nigeria. You don’t blame a people balling out of a shrinking ship when they have no life jackets.

“I am glad of what we have and I am expecting more. That is the game. We are in a constitutional democracy.

He said nobody can force anyone to stay where they don’t want, adding that APC is ready to receive more Nigerians who are willing to join the ruling party.

He said, “they think this political party is a failure, but with your perseverance, we never gave up. We are the Progressives. We will soldier on. Continue to work hard… I listen to you, not them.

“We have an opportunity to make Africa great, but I urge you to stay the course. To those I cannot offer political positions, be patient, you will be happy to belong to this party.”

You blackmailed people to join APC because of the ever rising Peter Obi popularity but you will still be disgraced like you were disgraced in Lagos and Osun state in the last presidential election despite having all the governors and senators on your side .

All we want is INEC should conduct a free and fair election and I trust Peter Obi will defeat tinubu before 12:30pm on election day

“They think this political party is a failure, but I listen to you, not them.... "

Just imagine! No room for objective thinking but political grandstanding & self aggrandizement. Nigeria will be rescued from this plague.

Politicians are free to join any party of their choice, but one thing is certain:

The next election will be between Nigerians and APC politicians

Exactly!

None of the defectors has come out to say he or she was forced to decamp (at gunpoint), figuratively or literally.

The crusaders & trumpeters of the ''one party state'' should form a formidable opposition that will stand the test of time against all odds, instead of crying like a kid deprived of his/her toys. angry

Which Peter Obi? grin

Obi does not even have a political party at the moment. One party state is bad for democracy and good governance but it has nothing to do with popularity of opposition candidate. If Obi is so popular people will be decamping to join him not run away from him and his party. Politicians are scientists when it comes to elections...they flow with the popular wave...where they can win.

You do force and coerce them to join. You even threaten them to join. That's how bad it is. But I tell you, there is a serious trouble looming in APC.

If the election is free and fair an independent candidate can win an election without belonging to any party. All the Politicians decamping have one vote and people will decide who to vote for. In Nigeria Governors rig elections and that is why their decamping is a big deal otherwise they all have one vote 🗳️.

Even in the US, elections are no totally fair.
Talk less of a country such as ours. After una don fail finish, una go dey shout free and fair. Can some of you sincerely swear on your lives that the "oga" you support didn't cheat?
In politics, nothing is fair. The brutal one takes it all.
