Tinubu Praised by Lagos APC for Staying Neutral in Anambra Poll

President Bola Tinubu has received praise from the All Progressives Congress Lagos State Chapter for upholding Nigeria’s democracy by remaining impartial in the Anambra governorship race on Saturday.

In a statement released on Monday in Lagos, Mr. Seye Oladejo, the party’s spokesperson, offered the praise.

He claims that Tinubu’s position shows his dedication to holding legitimate elections and advancing democracy.

“By promoting transparency and declining to meddle in the electoral process, the President has once again demonstrated that he remains the most credible defender of Nigeria’s democracy,” Oladejo stated.

According to Oladejo, the President’s choice to abstain from meddling in the election strengthened public trust in the electoral process by reaffirming his status as a true democracy.

Additionally, he praised the Independent National Electoral Commission for holding an election that was transparent and credible.

He claims that the way the election was conducted under the new INEC leadership is a daring and invigorating new chapter in Nigeria’s democratic history.

He went on to say that the Anambra election’s results demonstrated the opposition coalition’s disarray and lack of organization.

Oladejo claimed that the election revealed the coalition’s “paper-thin” structure, characterizing it as a collection of “political wanderers and competing egoists.”

He claims that the outcome demonstrates the so-called coalition’s lack of organization, vision, and national appeal.

He declared, “A group should stop dreaming of national victory if it cannot win in its own stronghold.”

Oladejo continued, “The APC will continue to focus on governance and reforms aimed at improving the lives of Nigerians, while the opposition looks for excuses.”

The only political organization with national depth, structure, and discipline, he claimed, was still the ruling party.

“The Anambra election serves as a warning to the opposition that emotional blackmail is no longer an option,” he declared.

After receiving 422,664 votes, INEC announced on Sunday that All Progressives Grand Alliance candidate and current governor Charles Soludo had won the Saturday election.

Nicholas Ukachukwu of the APC, Soludo’s closest opponent, received 99,445 votes.

In a similar vein, John Nwosu of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) received 8,208 votes, while Paul Chukwuma of the Young Progressives Party (YPP) finished third with 37,753 votes.

Jude Ezenwafor of the PDP received 1,401 votes, while George Moghalu of the Labour Party (LP) received 10,576 votes.
