President Bola Tinubu has strongly denied allegations linking him to any form of violence against opposition figures, declaring that he neither carried a weapon nor sanctioned attacks on political rivals.
Responding to recent claims circulating in political circles, the President described the accusations as unfounded and politically motivated. He maintained that his political journey has always been rooted in democratic engagement, dialogue, and electoral competition—not violence.
Tinubu emphasized that Nigeria’s democracy must be protected through lawful conduct and respect for differing political views. He called on security agencies to investigate any reported incidents thoroughly and ensure that those responsible, regardless of affiliation, are held accountable.
The President also urged political stakeholders to avoid inflammatory rhetoric that could heighten tensions, especially as political activities continue to intensify nationwide.
Observers say the statement is aimed at calming rising political tensions while reaffirming the administration’s commitment to democratic principles.
