President Bola Tinubu says the 2026 All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential primaries demonstrate internal democracy within the ruling party. Tinubu makes the statement after participating in the exercise at Ikoyi-Obalende Ward L2 in Lagos. He expresses satisfaction with what APC governors have done, linking his remarks to the way the primaries are conducted across the country. Vanguard and Premium Times both report that Tinubu publicly characterizes the primaries as evidence of internal democratic processes in the party. The outlets agree that Tinubu’s comments are delivered on Saturday in connection with his attendance and participation at the Lagos ward level. While the reports focus on Tinubu’s assessment of the primaries’ conduct, they do not provide additional details on irregularities, results, or specific governance decisions by the governors beyond Tinubu’s broad satisfaction. The coverage therefore centers on his overall evaluation of the primaries and the claim that the process reflects internal democracy in the APC.
