President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has formally addressed allegations regarding the suppression of political opposition in Nigeria, categorically denying any involvement in orchestrating the recent wave of defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking through official channels in response to growing critiques from rival political factions, the President emphasized that the shifting political landscape is a result of individual democratic choices rather than executive coercion.
“The narrative that this administration is silencing the opposition is entirely unfounded,” the statement read.
“Nigeria remains a vibrant democracy where the right to association is constitutional. The movement of politicians across party lines is a reflection of their own political calculations and a vote of confidence in the 'Renewed Hope' agenda, not the result of high-handedness.”

President Tinubu maintained that his administration is committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that all political actors operate within a free and fair environment.

The administration urged opposition parties to look inward and address their internal challenges rather than attributing their structural shifts to external interference.
“Our goal is to build a nation that works for everyone, regardless of partisan affiliation. We remain open to constructive criticism and are dedicated to protecting the democratic space for all Nigerians.”
