President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, on Thursday, mocked those saying his administration is pushing Nigeria towards a one-party system, saying that you cannot blame people for their choice of association.
Tinubu, who spoke at the ongoing All Progressives Congress National Summit at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, said, “it is only one party that is ruling.
“For those still contemplating to 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 sinking 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.”
The President said no one can force others to stay where they don’t want, stressing that APC is ready to receive more Nigerians 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 to 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.”
