The President stated this during his State of the Nation address at a joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja on Thursday, June 12, 2025.
As reported by The Punch, the address was held to commemorate Democracy Day.
“I will not advise the opposition to put its house in order and I will not help them put their house in order. It is indeed a pleasure to see you in disarray,”
The president said rather than panicking, the opposition should introspect on the reason for the recent defections and political realignments.
“Political parties fearful of members leaving may be better served by examining their internal processes and affairs, rather than fearfully conjuring up demons that do not exist,”
Tinubu further stated that:
“For me, I will not say, try your best to put your house in order. I will not help you to do so, either.”
Tinubu said one-party state is not in the offing and the APC would be guilty of political malpractice if it closed its door on members of opposition parties who want to join the ruling APC.
The President officially welcomed the new APC members from Delta and Akwa Ibom States led by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori Pastor Umo Eno and other members of this National Assembly.
“We must welcome and accept the diversity and number of political parties just as we welcome and embrace the diversity of our population. Our efforts must never be to eliminate political competition but to make that competition salutary to the national well-being by working across the political aisle whenever possible.”
