President Bola Ahmed Tinubu says it is a pleasure to see members of the opposition parties, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and Labour Party (LP) in disarray. The president made the remarks on Thursday, June 12, during a joint sitting of the National Assembly to mark this years Democracy Day, where he also welcomed defectors from the opposition into the All Progressives Congress (APC). A one-party state is not in the offing. Nor should it ever be. That said, we would be guilty of political malpractice if we closed the door on those from other parties who now seek to join the APC and I sincerely welcome our partys newest members from Delta and Akwa Ibom States led by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Pastor Umo Eno and other members of this NationalAssembly.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. For me, I would say try your best to put your house in order. I will not help you do so. It is, indeed, a pleasure to witness you in such disarray.We must welcome and accept the diversity and number of political parties just as we welcome and embrace the diversity of our population. Our efforts must never be to eliminate political competition but to make that competition salutary to the national well-being by working across the political aisle whenever possible.” he saidThe post
