The party’s spokesman, Mr Seye Oladejo, in a statement issued in Lagos on Monday, described President Bola Tinubu’s stance as a clear demonstration of his commitment to credible elections and the deepening of democracy in Nigeria.
“The President has once again shown that he remains the most credible defender of Nigeria’s democracy by encouraging transparency and refusing to interfere in the electoral process,” Oladejo said.
He noted that Tinubu’s decision not to influence the outcome of the poll reaffirmed his reputation as a true democrat and helped strengthen public confidence in the country’s electoral system.
Oladejo also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)** for what he termed a credible and transparent conduct of the Anambra election, adding that the exercise reflected “a refreshing new dawn” under the commission’s current leadership.
The APC spokesman said the results of the election further exposed divisions within the opposition coalition, which he described as a “gathering of political wanderers and competing egoists” lacking structure and vision.
“A group that cannot win in its own stronghold should stop dreaming of national victory,” he added.
Oladejo maintained that while the opposition “search for excuses,” the ruling All Progressives Congress would continue to prioritise governance and reforms aimed at improving Nigerians’ lives.
He emphasised that the APC remained the only party with the depth, discipline and national structure capable of sustaining Nigeria’s democratic progress.
“The Anambra election is a warning to the opposition that the era of emotional blackmail is over,” Oladejo stated.
