President Bola Tinubu has described the conduct of the 2026 All Progressives Congress, APC, primary election across the country as a strong demonstration of internal democracy within the ruling party.
Speaking after he participated in the APC Presidential Primaries at Ikoyi-Obalende Ward L2 in Lagos on Saturday, Tinubu noted that the exercise has further deepened the democratic process.
The President applauded party members for their orderly conduct, enthusiasm, and commitment to democratic values.
“This is a demonstration of internal democracy, and it has been going on very well according to plan. This is grassroots politics where every member of the party has the right to participate.
“It shows that we have internal democracy and it’s peaceful and well organised,” he said.
The president reiterated that APC remains committed to transparent and inclusive democratic processes that give party members at the grassroots the opportunity to freely choose their leaders and representatives.
Tinubu also stressed that their involvement remains the foundation for sustainable democratic development.
He hailed electoral officials, party leaders, and security agencies for ensuring the exercise was conducted peacefully and credibly, and urged Nigerians to continue supporting democratic institutions and national unity.
The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to democratic ideals, good governance, and policies to improve the welfare of Nigerians while strengthening political stability nationwide.
