The Lagos State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has stated that President Bola Tinubu is strengthening institutions, not pandering to emotion or social media theatrics.
Naijaonpoint reports that the remark follows the latest outburst from the Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications to former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Phrank Shaibu, over what he labelled as a “pardon U-turn” by Tinubu.
Shaibu, while reacting to the review of the presidential pardon list, said Nigerians are witnessing a government that thinks after it acts.
In response, the spokesman of the APC Lagos Chapter, Mogaji Seye Oladejo, in a statement on Thursday, said the remark is yet another “cocktail of ignorance, frustration, and political bitterness from a camp desperate for attention.”
Oladejo challenged Atiku’s camp to stop weaponising ignorance, noting that Tinubu’s leadership is guided by law and not emotion.
While urging Nigerians to ignore Atiku’s camp, Oladejo added that Nigeria is moving forward under Tinubu’s administration, and no amount of political tantrums will change the reality.
The statement reads, “Unlike the impulsive and uninformed commentary that has become the trademark of the opposition, President Tinubu’s decisions are driven by due process, rule of law, and national interest.
“In advanced democracies, informed review and reconsideration are marks of credible leadership and institutional maturity, not weakness.
“Only in the shallow corners of the opposition’s imagination does consultation and constitutional refinement translate to a U-turn.
“The Nigerian public is weary of this infantile, bitterness-driven politics where sound governance decisions are attacked for the sake of noise-making.
“President Tinubu is strengthening institutions, not pandering to emotion or social media theatrics. While responsible leaders build, petty politicians rant.
“We urge Nigerians to ignore the latest media convulsions from a defeated politician’s corner. President Tinubu will continue to lead with constitutional discipline, courage, and clarity of purpose not the bitterness and confusion that have become hallmarks of those rejected repeatedly at the polls.
“Nigeria is moving forward and no amount of political tantrums will change that reality.”
