Former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan has described President Bola Tinubu’s remark on one-party state as strange.

Ologbondiyan spoke on Channels TV’s Morning brief on Friday, while fielding questions.

Recall that Tinubu had while addressing the National Assembly on Thursday, debunked claims that his istration plans to make Nigeria a one-party state.


The president, however, stated that he is happy that the opposition parties are in disarray and will not help them.

Tinubu said: “To those who ring the alarm that the APC is intent on a one-party state, I offer you a most personal promise. While your alarm may be as a result of your panic, it rings in error.”

Reacting to the development, Ologbondiyan insisted that he never expected Tinubu to come out in public and itted he was behind the design to bring a one-state party system to Nigeria.


“We never expected Mr president to come to the public arena and declare that he knows nothing about the plot to bring up the one party state,” [/b]Ologbondiyan said.

“We were not expecting the president to come and say I am behind the design to bring in a one party state no.

[b]“I have not seen when he spoke on the need to reform the electoral process even in that remark Mr president said oh he have not seen any means in the INEC to say that INEC should not any parties but those who have filed for registration have come out to say they have refused to them.


“There was a case of a particular intent of a group of people who want for registration and they have completed all the processes and they have been told to come for their certificate, day in day out they have not been issued that certificate,

“It is also strange to me that Mr president will come up and say oh forever and ever I will never be involved in a one party plot but the design of the party, even of his own cabinet have come out to ask even on channels TV to say where will they find a party to contest on, the president doesn’t need by himself to come out and say don’t this party”

Go to court and stop bugging us. Wondering why the Nigeria opposition just like to nag for no meaningful reason

No wonder the opposition is in the diarray? You are expecting the president to help you form opposition against him. Who is going to take you serious?

The issue is that they will be the one to suffer it at long run, shey na same opposition d decamp? Cos they are in power now, tomorrow when they lost primaries they will want to cross carpet to another party for automatic ticket. Let's watch n see, black man just d leave for the moment.

How e no go strange...when PDP your party no get mental capacity to understand he is actually saying the truth

It's really sad to see PDP in this mess... PDP? O ga o..

The mighty as fallen...fallen so bad

Make all of una dey torture una soul

Seun seun seun

Pdp are really pained to be in disarray. I never knew that the president was this savage. It really hit them

You people should leave too much talk and put your house in order so you can form a viable opposition. So , even if the president is behind the chaos in your party, why allow an external force unsettle you? Why are you not united to fight off external interference? You are not serious . If I were Tinubu , I would form that one party state so you guys can hug transformer . Nonsense !

Who takes BAT serious? Not after using institutions to capture Delta state, still grappling Rivers, and Akwa ibom?

Yet, I know he won't make it come 2017.

For now, All I will say is time will tell.

This is why young people like you can't and won't make headway politically! You are too emotional! Yes!

The politicians that cross-carpeted have weighed their options and KNOW whatever risk their choices portend but they will do so all the same because the benefits for them is greater than the risk, so there is no "let's wait and see".

Did Tinubu not "lose" Lagos and Osun and gain the presidency?

You win some and lose some!

It's called Politics-Play or Get Played

Aside: The only person's comment who has gained my respect from the opposition concerning this issue is Saraki. All others keep making their irresponsibility bare for all to see.

Tinubu said get your acts together and stop whining and complaining about people leaving your sinking ship!

Thank you ojare! Too many politically spineless men!

Unserious charlatans, kindergarten politicians and undecided felons

Only people that are wise and think deeply will know that PBAT comment on the issues of one party is a challenge to put their house in order.

Capture which Delta? That a governor decides to decamp to a party doesn't translate to state's capture! You can rephrase it to mean: Governor's capture!

it is the insecurities of other parties that will lead Nigeria into a one party state, but in the days of FEEDEEFEE, many decamped no one complained of a one party state

See opposition!!!. Very useleeeees set of people. IRE O

Jonathan can tell better! When you think you are an emperor but your people don't want you any longer. Na Jonathan go tell Una how e dey happen

Democracy in Nigeria get as e be Sha, tomorrow now the speaker fit cross carpet and the artful dodger will find another drum to beat.

I'm never enthusiastic about Nigerian politicians, not even one.

Not only strange but undemocratic.
Yet some of the National Assembly who forgot their brain 🧠 at home were cluelessly clapping for him.

It is easy for politicians and the political party in power to say go to court, knowing full well that they are in control of judges in Nigeria and can easily manipulate them. But had it been it were in the western world, they will be jittery.
