Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Senate President, Bukola Saraki has said President Bola Tinubu and the opposition parties are on the same page.<\/p>\n

Saraki was reacting to Tinubu\u2019s remark that he is not for a one-party state.<\/p>\n

There have been claims that Tinubu was moving Nigeria towards a party state, following recent defections to the All Progressives Congress, APC.<\/p>\n

Some of the defectors had blamed the crisis in their various parties for their decision to join the ruling party.<\/p>\n

But, Tinubu while addressing the National Assembly yesterday debunked claims that his administration plans to make Nigeria a one-party state.<\/p>\n

He, however, stated that he is happy that the opposition parties are in disarray and he won\u2019t help them.<\/p>\n

Tinubu said: \u201cTo those who ring the alarm that the APC is intent on a one-party state, I offer you a most personal promise. While your alarm may be as a result of your panic, it rings in error.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking to journalists at the National Assembly, Saraki said: \u201cWe must take him at his words, he spoke well saying he is not for a one-party state, so we must take him at his words that he supports a multi-party, so we are all on the same page.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe the PDP buy into this and that is why we are going around bringing everybody and they heard it, so those people saying there is pressure, there is no pressure on anybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all for multi-party and everybody should go and get his house in order. As he said, he\u2019s not going to help us, so we are going to sort our own house and get it in order.\u201d<\/p>\n
