President Bola Tinubu cast his ballot at the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primary in his Ikoyi, Lagos State, ward.
Along with other party members, Tinubu and his spouse, Oluremi Tinubu, participated in the APC direct primary election that took place nationwide on Saturday.
Following the election, Tinubu stated that citizens, not noise or borrowed platforms, are what sustain democracy.
“Today, I participated in the APC Presidential Direct Primary at my ward in Ikoyi, Lagos, alongside my dear wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON,” he said in a post on his X handle.
“Democracy is not sustained by noise, speculation, or borrowed platforms. It is sustained by citizens who show up, party members who believe, institutions that endure, the grassroots, and a political family rooted in the people.”
“The APC remains focused, organised and deeply grounded across Nigeria. Others may gather around the grievance. We gather around structure, service, and the work of nation-building.”
“Together, we will continue to renew hope, strengthen our democracy, and build a stronger Nigeria for all.”
As the APC primary comes to a close, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu’s thoughts should now turn to the welfare and well-being of the Nigerian people. As a leader who has been a part of the country’s democratic journey, he has a responsibility to ensure that the masses are safe and comfortable. We urge him to prioritize the implementation of policies that address the pressing issues of insecurity, poverty, and inequality, which have been a source of concern for many Nigerians.
By doing so, he can demonstrate his commitment to the people and work towards building a better future for all Nigerians. We hope that he will take this opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of Nigerians and to leave a lasting legacy of improvement and progress.”
