The All Progressives Congress, APC, has dismissed report by the Labour Party that President Bola Tinubu is out to clampdown on opposition members.
“It is pertinent to put on record that we have it on very good authority that the government may have marked some Labour Party’s key leaders, myself especially and our leader and presidential candidate, Mr Peter Obi, in particular for vilification, to suppress the party, suffocate our team, and our goal of a new Nigeria.
“The planned persecution, intimidation, suppression and harassment of our leaders using security agencies and all other government institutions will be defended,” Labour Party’s factional National Chairman, Julius Abure had said.

Responding, the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling party, Duro Meseko, in a refutation of Abure’s claim said, it is not the President’s way to be intolerant of his detractors and instead, has reputation to accommodate them by way of appointments.
“It is not true. Virtually everybody in Nigeria know that President Tinubu is not that kind of person. Some of the people in Tinubu’s government today like the Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, were among those insulting him and all that. Yet, he still brought them on board. That’s for you to know the kind of heart he has,” he told Punchng.
