President Bola Tinubu on Thursday said he was aware 'some people' baited him before the 2023 presidential election, stressing that he deliberately honoured their wishes to prove he can still win fairly in spite of the obstacle.
“Under my watch, internal democracy will be strictly adhered to with a deliberate policy to engage in wider consultations and make party functional throughout the year. More reforms will be carried out in the party in alignment with the current political landscape. Our main focus will be promoting party unity and defending and increasing the number of executive and legislative seats we currently hold.
“We will ensure a level playing field for all party members that want to contest elections under the party’s platform. Our primary elections would be free, transparent and fair. Let me also use this opportunity to call on members of our party and all the people of Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa states to close ranks and ensure that the APC wins in the forthcoming governorship elections,” he said.
“This was exactly what Lukman has been screaming all along before he resigned from his position as the national vice chairman for North-West. It is just inappropriate. This will almost make rubbish of the earlier zoning arrangement had before the NASS election, ” a member of the NWC told our correspondent.
