President Bola Tinubu has publicly taunted opposition political parties, saying that he has no intention of helping them resolve their internal divisions.
His remarks reflect a firm stance against aiding political foes struggling with unity.
While addressing a joint session of the National Assembly on Thursday, Tinubu said, “I will not advise the opposition to put its house in order and I will not help them put their house in order. It is indeed a pleasure to see you in disarray.”
The occasion was part of the Democracy Day celebration, where Tinubu delivered a State of the Nation address before lawmakers and other dignitaries at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.
The president’s statement comes as many opposition politicians continue to defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), reinforcing the party’s political dominance across the country.
Tinubu also dismissed suggestions that Nigeria is drifting toward a one-party system, insisting that the realignment is a result of public confidence in the APC, not a deliberate effort to weaken the opposition.
The crisis in the opposition parties appears to validate Tinubu’s position.
The growing cracks in these parties have created an opening for the APC to expand its influence unchallenged, a reality that Tinubu has now publicly acknowledged and welcomed.
