‘Sweep Them Clean’ – Tinubu Justifies Defection To APC, Says Nothing Wrong With One-Party System
President Bola Tinubu has justified the ongoing mass defections of opposition members to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), describing the phenomenon as an expression of democracy.
Tinubu stated this during the ruling party’s national summit on Thursday.
According to him, they are “bailing out of a sinking ship with no life jackets.”
Tinubu said, “I just need to tell those who say a one-party system is not good.
“You don’t blame a people bailing out of a sinking ship when they have no life jackets.
“I’m glad for what we have, and I’m expecting more to come. That is the game. Welcome to progress; sweep them clean.”
While declaring President Tinubu as the sole candidate of the APC in 2027, the national chairman of the party, Abdullahi Ganduje, said, ” As the Chairman of the party and as the only recognised platform to field a candidate in any election, I hereby affirm the endorsement of the President.”
