His record of service as governor, which witnessed giant strides in various facets of the state, was responsible for the dominance of his political structure in Lagos and not by any undemocratic conduct, as Atiku Abubakar wants the public to believe. Unlike Atiku Abubakar, President Tinubu’s record as a democrat par excellence and a strong advocate of the rule of law have been globally acknowledged. They exist only in the imagination of the PDP and the former vice-president. These allegations are deliberately aimed at unnecessarily heating up the polity and causing disenchantment in our country. President Tinubu is also not planning to impose a one-party state as Atiku has serially alleged and his party and spokesman have now parroted. Similarly, the PDP Governor in Bauchi also won his case in the Appeal court, beating the APC. We had witnessed how under his watch the PDP governor in Osun defeated the APC at the Supreme Court. We make bold to say that as president, he has not interfered with the judgment of the judiciary. President Tinubu is a democrat to the core. Onanuga continued: “While we do not hold brief for the judiciary, we urge Nigerians to discountenance the malicious allegations by the PDP and its candidate that President Tinubu as governor of Lagos, silenced the opposition and corrupted the judiciary and that he is planning to foist a one-party state on the country by appointing “loyalists” as Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs).
