“I am very happy and proud of our party, All Progressives Congress, the APC. We are demonstrating to the people across the country that we are a law-abiding political party; that we believe in the tenets of democracy and that we demonstrate the openness in the congresses across the country.”
Citing Lagos State as an example of how congresses should be conducted ,Tinubu said:”Things are going according to plan, very open and transparent process.
“They queue up behind whoever they want, no pre-ordained candidate. The turn-out is very impressive.
“The membership of the party is growing in leaps and bounds and open to all democrats who want to identify with us.
“This is one of the best ways to energize the party that is almost remaining dormant at the grassroots level and you could see the sense of belonging and the energy and activities of the ordinary people. It is a great joy for me.”
