Tinubu Explains Signing Electoral Act to Avoid Turmoil

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu addressed the All Progressives Congress (APC) leadership and the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) on Wednesday at the State House in Abuja, explaining his rationale for signing the Electoral Act. He stated that he had no choice but to respect the overwhelming support from the National Assembly for the legislation, as failing to do so could have plunged the country into political turmoil.

Tinubu highlighted that democracy requires compromise and mutual support among political actors, noting that political competition often rewards victors. He urged leaders and citizens to learn to accommodate each other to strengthen democratic institutions and promote peace and stability in Nigeria.

Tinubu's remarks reflect his commitment to upholding the rule of law and fostering a collaborative political environment.
