Former Senate President Bukola Saraki has responded to President Bola Tinubu’s comment about the disarray within Nigeria’s opposition parties, acknowledging the internal turmoil in his own party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
However, he expressed confidence that the party would resolve its issues.
During his Democracy Day address on Thursday, President Tinubu openly mocked the opposition’s struggles, stating, “It is a joy to see the opposition in disarray. For me, I will not say, try your best to put your house in order. I will not help you to do so, either.”

Tinubu also dismissed claims that his government is attempting to create a one-party system through orchestrated defections to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a response to journalists shortly after the National Assembly ceremony, Saraki conceded that the PDP is indeed facing internal challenges.
He called on his party and other opposition groups to focus on self-correction and reorganization, urging them to “get their houses in order.”
Saraki said, “I think we must take him at his words. I mean, he spoke well, saying that he’s not for a one-party state. So we must take him at his word, and he supports a multi-party. So we are all on the same page.
“That’s why we are going around and bringing everybody to come around. So those who say they are under pressure, there is no pressure anymore. So, we’re all for multi-party, and everybody should get their house in order, as he said, he’s not going to help us, so we are going to sort our own house again.”
