The Lagos Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that President Bola Tinubu’s decision to review and adjust the pardon earlier granted to Maryam Sanda, and others were made in the interest of the nation and in compliance with the rule of law in the country.
Lagos APC stated that reviews and adjustments made by the President were traits of credible leaders who understand democratic system of governance and not weakness.
The party stated this on Thursday while reacting to the former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s aide accusing the Tinubu’s administration of policies inconsistency since assuming office in 2023.
Faulting Atiku’s comment, the party’s spokesperson, Seye Oladejo, described the statement as a mark of ignorance on governance.
He said: “President Tinubu’s decisions are driven by due process, rule of law, and national interest. In advanced democracies, informed review and reconsideration are marks of credible leadership and institutional maturity – not weakness.
“Only in the shallow corners of the opposition’s imagination does consultation and constitutional refinement translate to a “U-turn”.
“President Tinubu will continue to lead with constitutional discipline, courage, and clarity of purpose – not the bitterness and confusion that have become hallmarks of those rejected repeatedly at the polls.
“Nigeria is moving forward – and no amount of political tantrums will change that reality”.
