President Bola Tinubu has expressed his pleasure over the litany of the crisis rocking the major opposition parties in the country.
The president made his stance on the opposition to these political crisis known during his Democracy Day live broadcast which took place at the National Assembly Complex on Thursday, June 12.
He urged the opposition members to work towards putting their houses in order.
Tinubu also highlighted the importance of political parties examining their internal party processes with the aim of serving their members better.
He said that he is aware that opposition party members are scared of losing their members to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
The president, however, warned the parties against conjuring falsehoods against him and the ruling party.
He said, “For me, I would say try your best to put your house in order. I will not help you do so. It is, indeed, a pleasure to witness you in such disarray.
“We must welcome and accept the diversity and number of political parties just as we welcome and embrace the diversity of our population,” Tinubu stated.
According to the president, parties must not focus on eliminating political competition but ensure that competitions are channelled to the benefit of the people.
“One area in which democracy calls us to work together, whether in the
legislative or executive branch, whether in this or other political parties, is that of economic and social development,” he said.
