Nasarawa State Governor Abdullahi Sule has dismissed concerns that Nigeria is transitioning into a one-party state, attributing the recent wave of defections to the All Progressives Congress (APC) to President Bola Tinubu’s reform-driven leadership. 
Speaking to journalists after a meeting with President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, Governor Sule emphasized that the defections were voluntary and inspired by the administration’s policies, including exchange rate unification, fuel subsidy removal, and power sector reforms.
He stated, “It’s a reflection of the performance of our party and the performance of Mr. President.”  
Governor Sule clarified that while the APC aims to be the dominant party, it does not seek to eliminate opposition parties. He noted, “We just want to be the dominant party. If we can win 90 percent of the votes, that’s okay. The other parties can have 10 percent.”
