Addressing newsmen after the primary election in Lagos, Tinubu said, “This is a demonstration of internal democracy. 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 and be involved to ensure internal democracy.
“The exercise has been peaceful and well organised.”
Tinubu expressed satisfaction with the process, saying, “The governors have done well across the states, from the ward congresses to local governments, delegate accreditation, validation, members’ register, and certification of the electoral process.
“I am excited by the show of love by the large crowd. They challenge me more.”
