Abdullahi Ganduje, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), suggested that a one-party system could be beneficial for Nigeria. He made these remarks on Friday after accompanying three PDP senators from Kebbi state—Adamu Aliero, Yahaya Abdullahi, and Garba Maidoki—who announced their intention to defect to the APC during a meeting with President Bola Tinubu.

When questioned about whether the trend of opposition politicians joining the ruling party might lead Nigeria toward a one-party state, Ganduje pointed to China as an example of a successful single-party system.

"If a one-party state is a wish and blessing to Nigeria... a one-party state is not by force," Ganduje stated. "One party state is by negotiation, and it is by other political parties seeing the effect of the positive governance of our party."

He added, "You know they say too many cooks spoil the soup — too many political parties spoil governance. China is one of the strongest countries in the world, and it's a one-party system. We are not saying we are working for a one-party system, but if that is the wish of Nigerians, we cannot quarrel with that."

Ganduje mentioned that Tinubu has "graciously blessed" the senators' decision to join APC, encouraging observers to "go and see what will happen in the chambers" on Tuesday.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
