The presidency has dismissed insinuations that President Bola Tinubu is entrenching a one-party state in the nation.
The allegation was part of the communique issued by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after its 98th NEC meeting on Thursday.
Bayo Onanuga, special adviser to the president on information and strategy, said members of the PDP NEC “completely ignored” reality and the “stellar” achievements of Tinubu’s administration.
Onanuga said Tinubu’s economic team is doing well, contrary to PDP’s take, adding that the country’s security situation is improving.
“We believe the party’s NEC members must have been habiting another planet, as all the accusations contradicted the reality on ground and completely ignored the stellar achievements recorded by the Tinubu Administration in less than one year,” the statement reads.
“Unlike the PDP administration of 16 years, the Tinubu administration has been confronting the problems of our country headlong, moving for an audacious reset that will firmly put our country on a solid economic pedestal.
“The results are already showing. Contrary to the pessimism and wishes of some PDP leaders, the National Currency has become the world’s best-performing, appreciating by almost 50 per cent against the dollar in a few weeks.
“The PDP is advised to harmonise its home first rather than accusing President Tinubu of trying to entrench one-party state. President Tinubu nurses no such plan as it only exists in the imagination of the opposition PDP,” the statement added.
