He said, “I have no demands. If you understand what party
politics and leadership is all about, it is about loyalty and commitment
to the values which the leadership believes in.
“I believe in what the president believes in, I respect him and I
stand firmly loyal to his cause. So you can go to any length of
speculation that you might want, I have not responded to all of that
because I understand the president and the president understands me
clearly.”

Reacting on the crisis that bothers the National Assembly, Tinubu said, “That
is an area where I am very cautious of my position and my utterances. I
still want to keep my side of the interpretation or analysis to be able
to achieve a resolution of the matter as quickly as possible. I am
backing what the president has carefully enumerated and articulated to
the party. The party is supreme. The party must have disciplined
leadership and followers.
“The party’s process must be respected because that is the
confidence and the trust of the people. However, in every environment,
we should have conflict, that is politics and conflict resolution
mechanism would be applied to resolve all the problems; so we are there.
There is honour in every struggle and every competition, there must be
honour in victory too”.
