The National chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Ganduje, has dismissed fears being expressed by some members of the opposition party that Nigeria is drifting towards a one-party State.
While addressing State House Correspondents after meeting with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Friday, May 9, Ganduje said the ruling party cannot quarrel with Nigerians if APC controls virtually all states and the centre.
Ganduje who led three Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators who agreed to move to the APC to see President Tinubu said,
“Leaders worried on one party state…If one-party state is a wish and blessing to Nigeria… One party state is not by force, it is by negotiation and it is by other political parties seeing the effect of the positive governance of our party. If they decide to come to our party willingly, I think there is nothing wrong with that.
Today China is one of the strongest countries in the world and it’s a one party system. We are not saying we are working for one-party system but if this is the wish of Nigerians, we cannot quarrel with that. You know they say to0 many cooks spoil the soup, too many political parties spoil governance.”
