According to him, while opposition parties play a vital role in democratic governance, their actions must be rooted in realism, responsibility, and respect for the will of the people.

“The outcome of recent elections reflects the confidence of Nigerians in the leadership, vision, and developmental direction of the APC,” the statement said.

The party also criticised opposition groups for what it described as weak organisation and lack of unity, noting that last-minute alliances formed ahead of primaries pointed to poor preparation.

It urged them to channel their energy into internal reforms instead of what it called distractions and unproductive rhetoric over settled electoral outcomes.

The APC further stressed that its priority remains governance, including improving infrastructure, expanding economic opportunities, strengthening security, and enhancing the welfare of citizens.

It encouraged opposition parties to adopt a more constructive approach by accepting political realities and contributing positively to the peace and progress of the state.
