Tinubu Praises Internal Democracy and Grassroots Politics in 2027 APC Primaries

President Bola Tinubu has praised the 2026 All Progressives Congress (APC) primary election as a clear display of internal democracy within the ruling party.

After attending the APC Presidential Primaries at Ikoyi‑Obalende Ward L2 in Lagos on Saturday, Tinubu said the exercise had further deepened the democratic process.

The President commended party members for their orderly conduct, enthusiasm and commitment to democratic values.

“This is a demonstration of internal democracy, and it has been going on very well according to plan. This is grassroots politics where every member of the party has the right to participate,” he said.

“It shows that we have internal democracy and it’s peaceful and well organised,” he added.

He reiterated that the APC remains committed to transparent and inclusive democratic processes that give grassroots members the opportunity to freely choose their leaders and representatives.

Tinubu also stressed that this involvement is the foundation for sustainable democratic development.

He praised electoral officials, party leaders and security agencies for ensuring the exercise was conducted peacefully and credibly, and urged Nigerians to continue supporting democratic institutions and national unity.

The President reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to democratic ideals, good governance and policies to improve the welfare of Nigerians while strengthening political stability nationwide.
