The Digest:

President Bola Tinubu has rallied members of the All Progressives Congress to remain united and focused on national development, declaring at the party's 4th Elective National Convention that its strength lies not in size but in cohesion and shared vision. Speaking at Eagle Square, Abuja, Tinubu urged party members to guard against "ego overriding ideology and ambition replacing discipline." He dismissed concerns that the ruling party seeks a one-party state, affirming his commitment to democratic principles and the role of opposition in governance.

Key Points:
  • Tinubu warned that political parties often collapse not due to electoral defeat but internal divisions fueled by personal ambition.
  • He defended the Electoral Act 2026 against opposition attacks, insisting it followed due legislative processes.
  • The President highlighted infrastructure development, fiscal reforms, social investment, and improved security as key achievements.
  • He noted economic indicators show signs of recovery, with declining inflation, improved forex buffers, and renewed investor confidence.

As the APC concludes its national convention, Tinubu's message of unity and reform sets the tone for the party's consolidation ahead of the 2027 elections, emphasizing cohesion over internal division.
