‘Tinubu Isn’t Succumbing to Social Media Pressure’ — APC Responds to Atiku’s Criticism on Pardon

According to the All Progressives Congress (APC) Lagos State Chapter, President Bola Tinubu is bolstering institutions rather than appealing to sentimentality or social media antics.

According to reports, the statement comes after Phrank Shaibu, the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, lashed out at Tinubu for what he called a “pardon U-turn.”

In response to the examination of the presidential pardon list, Shaibu stated that Nigerians are seeing an administration that considers its actions before acting.

Mogaji Seye Oladejo, the spokesperson for the APC Lagos Chapter, responded by calling the comment a “cocktail of ignorance, frustration, and political bitterness from a camp desperate for attention” in a statement released on Thursday.

Oladejo urged Atiku’s side to refrain from using ignorance as a weapon, pointing out that Tinubu’s leadership is based on the law rather than feelings.

Oladejo stated that Nigeria is progressing under Tinubu’s leadership and that no amount of political outbursts will alter the situation, while advising Nigerians to disregard Atiku’s camp.

“President Tinubu’s decisions are driven by due process, rule of law, and national interest, in contrast to the impetuous and ignorant commentary that has become the trademark of the opposition,” the statement said.

“Informed review and reconsideration are indicators of credible leadership and institutional maturity, not weakness, in advanced democracies.”

Consultation and constitutional improvement only result in a U-turn in the narrowest recesses of the opposition’s consciousness.

“The Nigerian people are tired of this childish, resentful politics in which wise governing choices are criticized for the purpose of making noise.

“Instead than appealing to sentiment or social media theatrics, President Tinubu is bolstering institutions. Petty politicians shout while responsible leaders construct.

“We implore Nigerians to disregard the most recent media outbursts from the side of a defeated politician.” Instead of the resentment and bewilderment that have come to characterize individuals who have been frequently defeated at the polls, President Tinubu will continue to lead with constitutional discipline, courage, and clarity of purpose.

“No amount of political outbursts will change the fact that Nigeria is progressing.”
